[Hidden-tech] Do you have a Kindle?

[Rich]

not sure what projects you are working on - we pre-dated the kindle's
with a Sony e-book,
as well as now the iPad (although other non-local family member's have
kindles)
also have done a fair bit of experimenting with how to format text for both.

The epub format works pretty well on all of them - and there are
converters for text or pdf to ePub,
for self 'publishing' - which we use heavily to get books from places
like Gutenberg.org - not as needed
now since they make available many books already in epub format.
Pdf is pretty weak because it is designed for a fixed page format.
