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),
