I've now updated Freda so that it can at least display PDF books - it will load each page as an image (not as individual words on the page). That works reasonably well for short documents, on devices with large screens. But if you want to use document navigation features, or select and search text, it isn't much use. Since it doesn't reflow the text to fit the screen size, it also doesn't give a great result if the screen is small.
I'll have a think about whether I could make Freda launch the default PDF reader for the device. The obvious ways to do it would mean wasting a load of file system space, and time, by making copies of the PDF file - but perhaps I can come up with a non-obvious approach :-)
