I understand that many people like to read fiction and the like on the Kindle.
How useful would the Kindle be for reading technical books?
How useful would the Kindle be for reading technical books?
I don't know if is the fault of the format(mobi) or they are really bad at formatting technical books.
I'm note sure it's the format over the technology to start with as it's quite complicated to lay out technical material effectively so it requires some human intervention to a standard which doesn't make you want to poke your eyes out. PDF is just paper on a screen which takes the layout engine and automation out the back and shoots it.
However, it's still convenient to not have to lug around a giant text book to read somewhere - any of them. Having a Kindle is like having your entire library with you at all times.
