hah this is on my todo list to read! thanks for making it available.

one reason we like more "simplified" formats IE not pdf etc.. is that when the content is largely just text (and well formatted) the less complex the format the simply and more reliable the "coversion" to another format is.

SO for example I convert to mobi for my Kindle DX (in your case its already PDF already compatible) but if I get an HTML I convert that to mobi since the DX supports that.

html while large has the advantage of retaining formatting???

so including a well formatted text file WITH the pdf would be nice for those who can not or can not easily use the PDF as is.

PDF's are great on my DX they tend to suck on my PRS500 :-) screen's too small.

I know this thread is very old but its worth reminding people that convenience is also important and very much appreciated by us users.
