A month after buying my first Kindle. I kindly recommend getting one. I'm catching up on a lot of science fiction these days, reading lots of scuba diving books, and some classic literature every now and then.

Now, it seems natural to have a Kindle book reader. The Kindle is not the most technically advanced device I own; but it is great for what it does, downloading, storing and reading books.

The biggest problem, or annoyance, I've experienced with my Kindle is that many illustrations do not translate / format to Kindle format very well. I"m reading a Kindle book on fiance at the moment and the tables, charts, and other illustrations are nearly impossible to read.

I had problems with scientific equations and formulas in most Kindle books I've read as well.

Calibre isn't perfect and usually tecnical books are Pdf.
Epub is getting used more often (O'Reilly for one) and epub->awz3 is very good.
Equations, indeed, are always a problem.
But changing the Kindle from vertical view to the orizontal one, helps Smilie

My wife has a Nook Touch with GlowLight, she loves it. I've been tossing around the idea of picking up a Kindle Touch to use for work.
