The screen is way too small for reading technical PDFs. Even in landscape in my opinion. I know the obvious answer is I should have bought a larger screen reader (and I was warned about this here at MR before purchase) but they are too expensive and too big and heavy. A 6 inch is the only practical reader for me from a cost and size perspective but unfortunately PDF reading has proved to be rather problematic.
Strangely enough I considered purchasing the Kindle version of this book on Amazon. They had a sample download of the book and the structure and formatting of that is only slightly better. The Kindle version converts all the sample source code to images and is really blurry. They are also not added to the ebook all the same size and it just looks weird. It's better than the PDF conversion but it isn't worth the £26 they are asking for it. It feels like a bit of a rip off.
