Best for large PDFs and dictionary

Hi guys,

I'm wondering and haven't really been able to spot conclusive info on which e-ink device does handle large PDFs best (>15MB). I have been pulling some travel guides off the net into pdf-format and then printed them to take to wherever I'm headed. Obviously it would be so much nicer to actually have that file on a reader in my crumpler, searchable, bookmarkable and all.

A second aspect of using such a device for travelling would be dictionaries. Nothing extravagant, just to check say items on a Spanish menu, or show some passerby the screen with a succession of the, say, Italian translations of " I park here allow?" ;-) I know that there are lit-format dictionairies available - for free as it were - for French, Italian and Spanish. Is there anything like that for e-ink? How would you enter a word - Windows Mobile has virtual keyboards, transscription of screen input, etc. - on these? Prolly the lit's could be convertd to Mobi, but would they retain functionality?

Thanks Hendrik
