Alike all hackers, I want to break free from 10-14hourse staring into the computer monitor. I want to the passive act of reading away from the computer screen. To fulfill the purpose, I googled ebook readers. There are many of them, it a booming market. But not any which fulfills my demand. I am kind of guy who voracious reads old novels, journals and papers from google book, archive.org, guttenberg and couple of other sites. Some of them are OCR'ed text nicely formatted for book reader. But most of them are pdf files with images mostly over 80 MB in size and is not smooth even in modern laptop on acroread. All these imaged pdf are displayed as cross or wrongly displayed in these all ebook readers in the market. So what do they do, whey then can't even read a pdf file ? Any device that I missed out or should check out ?

I have 400 PDF files. Almost all of them over 200MB. They are the scanned book and all of them are imaged pdf. There is no text. It can't be OCR'ed because there is no OCR for the script in that book. Almost all the PDF in all three OS go crazy when trying to load and change page including the official Adobe Reader. Currently, the most responsive of all readers is the Google Chrome's inbuilt reader. Though it is not as snappy for small pdf, it is better than all other. These pdf don't have their meta data written so I want to write meta data on them and also want to Antone, comment etc. Basically do every thing which we can do in small pdf files. I tried mendely but after taking 1 minute to load the first page it takes about 3 mintues to load 3 pages and then it can' t load anything. Till now for quite long i Have been a serious user of Mendely but it failed now. Any suggestion for how to mange these large pdf with easy way to view.

BTW: I also checked out some ebook reader but they still need years of development before they can be like paper book not in terms of quality and environmental stuffy but rendering this large pdfs.
