how to read DjVu files on iPad smoothly by converting DjVu to PDF using a Mac and an Enolsoft DjVu Viewer for Mac.
About DjVu FormatThe DjVu format is a computer file format designed primarily to store scanned documents, especially those containing a combination of text, line drawings, indexed color images, and photographs. It uses technologies such as image layer separation of text and background/images, progressive loading, arithmetic coding, and lossy compression for bitonal (monochrome) images. This allows for high-quality, readable images to be stored in a minimum of space, so that they can be made available on the web.
