Yes, but if a PDF is really designed for a 160 x 160 palm, or a 4.3" Sony Ericsson Xperia Android phone, it may look rubbish on a larger screen. It's also not the best container for simply images. A multipage TIFF does that better and eink ereaders can have CSS to sensibly rescale images. The result of attempting to display a PDF is model dependent and unpredictable. Though of course probably no ereader supports multipage TIFF which is arguably a better format for a scanner to OCR than PDF, which might really be TIF inside, as PDF is an envelope that at the highest level defines a physical page size. Then each page can have multiple layers of postscript Text and vectors and images.
