You might be interested in something I ran across by accident wile looking at different e-reader types: .CBR or .CBZ format. It seems comic books are scanned a page at a time as image files and stored in .ZIP or .RAR files with the .CBZ or .CBR extension. I thought it might be possible to write an e-reader for older computers that used this format with 0% comression. It would be better than trying to read a .PDF on a classic. In this case though, it just seems like a quick easy way to get old manuals scanned and into an easily distributable format.

You could also use djvu format, which gives very high compression rates and is potentially lossless (depending on exactly how you use it).
