Hi guys,
when I started this thread, I was pretty new to ebooks. In the meantime I experimented a lot with converting ebooks from different formats to different formats, wrote some scripts and combined them with the conversion tools I found in the net.

I no longer generate PDF, but epub or mobipocket. The simple reason: I want a clickable table of contents and better navigation than E-Readers provide for PDF. Also, you need a special PDF for each reader, because of the different screen sizes. Of course, I lost the high quality typsetting of TeX/LateX, but I won a lot of flexibility.

Maybe for big novels that you read page by page, PDF is an option ... anyway, I would like a clickable table of contents in my PDF, and I never tried to get that on the Kindle ...
