This also uses much less bandwidth than a vnc link, so you should get rid of network interruptions too.

Whoa now - you gotta watch out for such absolute statements.
Check the thread on the new MedReader that is in the works - it **DISPLAYS** Latex - no post processing into another document type required. There are screenshots of the Kindle displaying Latex pages in that thread.
I.E: In the use case you have stated, a zero-bandwidth solution.
Note: Since MedReader is being tested in the new port of the Midori web browser, you will find some of its screen shots in that thread.
Also in the works (a big MAYBE) is a DICOM format image display. Just for those who want to display medical imaging files in the Kindle, not just read about them in various medical libraries.
