I am using the Picsel Browser for Zaurus (VGA clamshell PDA with Linux OS and ARM CPU). It all it needs to render my monster PDF (science and educational stuff, with hires photos you can zoom into without loosing details and lot's of drawings) is enough memory.

While I am thinking that there are really smart coders at work at Picsel, I am therefore hoping that the handling of huge PDF files will be without problems on E-Book devices with a similar computing platform.
