On the other hand, just for fun I wanted to see if I could read a paperback I got from the thrift store on my ipod. I sliced the back off, and ran it through a scanner to create an OCR'd pdf. Loading the pdf into my ipod didn't work, as it was 25 megs and so far, the only way I've figured out how to get pdf's to the ipod is via email.
Apple has been notorious for making it hard to load files onto their iOS devices. Recently in iOS 4 they've provided for it through iTunes, but it's still very clunky. For PDFs I use GoodReader which makes it somewhat easy to load files wirelessly and whose claim to fame is that it supports very large PDFs without crashing.
