Topic: compressing and putting pdf book on website-questions

Hi -
My quasi-specialty is print, not web - so forgive me for what could be stupid questions!

Here's what I'm trying to do:

I have 48 press-ready pdf files that I have had printed. The pages are separate files b/c that's how my vendor liked to get them - but they are all part of one book. I want to add the book to my website as a link that the user can click, then read the book online. The pdf files were originally eps and tiff files with all fonts outlined then distilled to the vendor's settings. Totally trouble-free files at the press, thank god.

I am going to merge the 48 separate files into one document and hyperlink it on my site.

OK - What is the best way to turn this press-ready document into a legible screen-ready PDF with a smaller file size?
Right now, it is illegible in many areas on screen (but of course looks great on paper). I'm trying to achieve the exact opposite :)

Also - anyone know of software that I can implement that will make the online reading of this book a little less cumbersome for the masses? Maybe something that can add a page-turning feature. I guess I could always make a roll-over button in Acrobat or something...

I can't decide if I want people to be able to read it in the browser b/c of my limited transfer size. I might need to put it up as a zip and have them download it...
Just thinking out loud here.

Thanks!
