I would like to pose two questions concerning the capabilities of the iLiad:

Is the iLiad capable to display really large PDF files? For example the file

http://modular.fas.harvard.edu/sga/sga5/SGA5.pdf

is about 60 MB. Can the iLiad process and display this file?

Secondly, the PDF file

http://archive.numdam.org/article/PM...60__4__5_0.pdf

("only" about 27 MB) consists, as the above, of scanned text (but smaller font size as above) which is not resizeable manually. I tried to figure out which zoom capabilities are offered by the iLiad reading earlier posts but I couldn't find an answer to my question. It seems to be necessary to resize/reformat files "offline" before loading them on the iLiad if the font size is too small. My question is of there is some sort of zoom feature (also for graphics)?

Could anyone with an iLiad try to get an eye on the above files and tell me if the files are reasonably readable on an iLiad?

This would be interesting also because the above books are out of print. :-)

Thanks a lot!
