pdflatex and ps2pdf work fine, complex formulas are okay to read. However, when looking at A4/letter papers scaled to the Iliad screen, forget about small subscripts and alike. It's not really fun to read.

A problem with the current pdf viewer is the antialiasing. Thin lines (greek letters, subscripts, fractions, ...) are not only too small, but also grey on grey. I hope future pdf viewers will allow to set blackness.

Reformatting papers to fit the Iliad screen doesn't really work -- people tend to make formulas such that they fit the intended paper size. If you retex with smaller papersize, a lot of formulas reach out of screen.
