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.

Do you think most conversions will turn out like the book I sent you? These are the types of books I plan to read 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.
I'm going to attach the conversion from Amazon which you can view with MobiPocket Reader. As soon as you download it, let me know so I can delete it. I'll scan some pages and post them tomorrow.

I don't know how a scanned pdf will work until I try it. I have a feeling it will have to processed as images.

If you're going to be heavy on the PDFs, you may want to get a Kindle DX which is larger and reads PDF files natively. It's designed for academics and heavy newspaper readers.
