Mono means monochrome: just black and white of various intensities.
8 means 8 bits per pixel: 256 levels of intensity.
I used my cramfs.java to pull apart the firmware and had a look.
The PDF viewer carries an Adobe copyright: Copyright (c) 1985, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1997 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All rights reserved. And an Adobe version indicator or: AdobeVersionInfo__Hobbes_1_0x20
There are no references to /dev/fb0 from the PDF viewer but there are references to Fsk bitmap manipulation routines. There are no references to the font/text Fsk routines that i find in the RTF viewer. So I'm sticking to my guess that PDF viewer renders to Mono8 bitmaps that it hands off to Sony and Sony then dithers them down to display on the eink panel.
