Ideally you would want RTF support as this would allow styling. If you want one so badly, whats to stop you or anyone else writing a RTF-reader for the Iliad...?
Or look at improving the html browser (Dillo...?), PDF is support is nice, but ultimately a dead-end. Its a format for replicating paper documents, and therefore isn't dislay agnostic. Unless you have a display agnostic reader on the Iliad you will always have to do some re-formatting to match the size of the screen. (Unless the world standardises on A5)

I have a script which does this, and there are many other scripts and macros around that will do this for you...
