Hi there, first post from me :-)

Since a long time i fantasize about buying a e-ink reader but until recently i was sure they would not be able to handle the scanned books i read.
Those scans have been greyscale PDF-files between 20 and 30MB and the PDF-reader utilized between 100MB and 200MB of RAM to display them.
This i guessed is nothing any e-ink reader could handle (i dont own one), especially not the cheaper ones with 200MHZ CPUs and very little RAM.

Then i switched to scanning in b/w and saving as djvu which reduced both the filesize and memory-usage dramatically. Whole books are now 3MB in size and displaying them requires about 20MB of RAM instead of over 100MB.
And now i fantasize about e-ink readers again because i think even their relativly poor hardware might be able to handle that.

What does everybody think about that and does anyone have any experience with e-ink readers which have native djvu support?
