At any rate, one of the main issues I see is the installed base of PDF users. History is rife with examples of a superior technology losing out to a less-proficient but more-popular one.

I think it can win out if (1) the viewer is very easy to install and readily available, (2) people start putting their docs into DjVu format and don't offer PDF as an alternative, and (3) DjVu is quick at rendering the files and scrolling. I know DjVu yields smaller files but it also has to be fast at opening the docs once it has them.
