However, PDFBeads looks to be unmaintained now, so I'm not sure if it still builds on modern systems. I guess you can always just try it and see.
JBIG2 is the most efficient format for black and white images, but the CCIT Group 4 format is pretty good, as well, and decodes much more quickly on the PocketBook devices than JBIG2. Perhaps if you could store the images in that format in the PDF files, it would work better on the ereader. The PDF files would be larger, but I think that's a small price to pay for speed and reliability.

Only if I had the time to re-convert all my books for each new reader I buy! Well, if they announce that their reader reads PDFs, then it should read PDFs, jbig2 or not. It seems to me they don’t want to pay any software license whatsoever.
