No im sorry i cant quite remember. I was browsing on both amazon and random sites that popped up on google.
Thanks anyway, it's good to know there might at least be the perfect cover for my eReader out there

I've noted this a few times around here, but you might want to know that many pdf viewers on several ereaders have problems with the letter beta in documents compiled with pdflatex (which a lot of journals do). The letter beta is written on top of the previous letter. I was trying to read papers on the QCD beta function, and well, it was problem. This happens on Kindles, Sony e-readers, the adobe pdf viewer on the pocketbooks, and the entourage edge. I don't know anyone with a Nook to try on that.
well, that seems odd.. is this just related to the letter beta or general greek characters. That would really throw me off as I do have quite some physics reading ahead of me...
Is that dependent on the file format or a general issue?

Good luck deciding!
Thanks Filark!

Hi Jocampo, I am referring specifically to this passage (from their terms and conditions):
Oh my, now THAT is good to know. I am a fan of my personal privacy to a reasonable extend. That policy is NASTY!
I was reluctant to get a Kindle at first, then I reconsidered... now... I'm really not so sure anymore
Thanks for pointing that out Paola

@captainralf: why don't you give me your pdf, a word, and then I test it?
you made me an offer I can't refuse
The thing is, most of the material I have, is not free for distribution, so to get around that I picked a random free journal. Maybe you can pick one of the pages with images and text on the side/above/below.
you can download the pdf here:http://www.plosone.org/article/info%...l.pone.0014804
I also attached a file with some equations. I hope the Open University isn't going to kill me for this, but these equations aren't exactly their inventions, so in case anyone asks...



Thank you guys for helping me with this. I'm already getting excited How helpful is THAT when trying to make in informed decision...
