    You might want to consider shipping your docs in multiple formats, if you
    have control over the generation of the documents. For example, you could
    create using OpenOffice, save as sxw, doc, html, and PDF. You could also
    create using Word or WordPerfect and either print to postscript and use
    ps2pdf
    or use the Adobe distiller (extra cost).

    You could have a simple server or apache and display the pages using lynx
    on the store systems. The PDF could be used for print-ready docs and
    displayable
    on in-store windows boxes, etc.

    My 2 cents (depreciated to 1c),
