Could I impose on you to try one on the Iliad? I am curious to see how they are rendered, and how readable the figures and columns etc are.
Here is a link to an open access pdf of a typical paper:

Would you be kind enough to load it onto the Iliad and give me your impression?  Can the grayscale figs still be made out. How readable is the paper if it is all on one page?
Thanks!

Just loaded it in the device and works ok. Everything i can see in the PC i can see on the Iliad.
I would suggest you print the pdf to 12x16cm. It will give you an idea of the text size.
Although it's readable on the screen the text is tiny. When the viewer can rotate the page to only show half the screen it will be a lot better for A4/Letter page PDFs
