Hello,
I have a Kindle DX, then I prefer the Kindle format than the PDFs. What I want to know is if there is any ebook for OS development on Kindle format(they are azw, mobi, prc).
Best Regards,

Re: Book Recommendations
It's the painful converting process I ever seen! When it gets converted, you have many(soo much!) formating errors, also Kindle doesn't support tables or topics(bullets).jal wrote:Isn't it quite easy to convert one to the other?Nathan wrote: I have a Kindle DX, then I prefer the Kindle format than the PDFs.

Tables need to be converted into images and the topics need to be converted into -'s.
The codes and these things that have anormal formattings(many tabs), loose them all.
Resuming, it's the worst converting tool I ever seen!

Re: Book Recommendations
From wikipedia, I get that your Kindle support PDFs natively. Why even bother converting to a standard which apparently is less featured and results in conversion bugs if you're supposed to be able to use the original directly?

I know exactly who I'm dealing with, and sadly, he hasn't improved since last time I hinted him to GTFO. (see the bootprog thread)
