Yeah, it works in the ePub version, which I've also made.

I use Linux, but I do dual-boot on my work computer. Is there any reason to expect different results with their software, however?

You can find anything you'd need at my project page: Click here.

As for the overline, as pdurrant says, I don't think it's possible with mobipocket, you'd have to find a different notation there, maybe something like neg(p|q).
Russell uses ~(p|q) elsewhere, but I really wanted to preserve the exact notation if possible. I'm targetting this mainly at academics, many of them specialists in the history of logic. I am even in contact with the staff at the Bertrand Russell archives, who have helped me check some things in Russell's original handwritten manuscript. Perhaps if I add a note explaining it, however.

I don't often say this, but for a book like this, a PDF version nicely formatted for the page size of the device you're reading on is very probably the best option.

I've already done that (yes, using LaTeX). You'll find it, along with four other PDF versions, at the same site above. It looks great, but I wanted something that could be read on the Kindle.

(And yes, after getting some good working versions, properly proofread, I'll upload here too.)

Thanks for the advice!
