I had a pdf with photos, diagrams, etc... As an experiment, I cropped out the margins in acrobat pro, saved as jpgs (>400 of them), zipped them, renamed the zip to *.cbz, and used comic2lrf.exe to convert to bbeb.

Worked better than I would have guessed, readable and fast even @ ~100MB. Wouldn't recommend this for every pdf, but for ones with large enough print, and complex layouts/graphics, it works well.
