By scan you mean what you did before? Or do you have a camera? (I'm assuming you mean the former: )

I would like to see how footnotes, indentation, and paragraphs look. When I tried converting some PDFs, footnotes ended very large and detached from the text, and sometimes there would be extra spaces between lines and stuff. So if you don't mind, I guess just zoom to a chapter and look for a page with footnotes and indented text (i.e. a block quote).

Do you think most conversions will turn out like the book I sent you? These are the types of books I plan to read - philosophy books, like Blackwell companions, or books by specific authors: nothing with a ton of images, I don't think - if I buy the Kindle 2, so I wanted to make sure they looked good. I could send you other books for testing, but not sure if it is worth the time if the one I already sent you is sufficient for inference.

Btw, how do scanned-PDFs look on the Kindle 2? I have some books that are scanned from actual paperbacks. Maybe I should send you one of those for testing?

Thanks for all the help.
