The reason I would like to try epdf is that Evince is crashing a lot with pdf that are rich of graphic images (i.e. magazines) so I'm thinkng that maybe, something lighter will not crash as often

thanks in advance

Read this thread. Down the thread I describe how to add the Debian repository from handhelds.org. It may be slightly different if you've flashed 4.0 -- my machine is in warranty repair, so I cannot test.

Once you have that sorted, just type:

Code:
sudo apt-get install epdfview
It should show up in the menu once it's all set. When in doubt, answer yes in the terminal (usually just tap the enter key.)

If you decide to remove Evince:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove evince
Linux is case-sensitive, so don't type Evince.

You've got some stuff to learn about linux, but it's good stuff.

Luck!
