It seems to me from a bandwidth perspective, there's no way you could cram entire 40-page image files over cell wireless to a handheld,

Well, from a purely bandwidth perspective, it may take a loooooooooong time for that file to be transmitted to the handheld (assuming the handheld has enough memory to handle such large files). As you may know, a file is broken up into discrete data packets prior to transmission, so it's really a matter of whether you have the patience to wait for your handheld to receive every packet and reorder/assemble them, and also whether your handheld has enough memory to store the file. To speed up transmission, I guess you can use compression (again, with the caveat that your handheld has enough memory to uncompress).

and then be able to read it on a tiny handheld screen.

There is, apparently, a utility that does this. See http://store.redmercury.com/acidimagepro.html
