{\TeX\ as an ebook reader}
{An important advantage of ebook readers is their ability to modify
text size and page orientation, for the most comfortable reading
configuration. The ebook reader has to reformat the text on the fly
and with minimum delay. Current ebook readers (e.g.\ Stanza on the
iPhone) can do this reformatting, but cannot deal with complicated
text such as mathematics. We have been experimenting with using \TeX\ as
the formatting engine. Of course it can handle complex mathematics,
but it also creates the best line breaks of any ebook reader, e.g.
Stanza. We will report our experiments with using \TeX\ as an ebook
reader on the iPhone.}
Sounds interesting, but it's also fairly obviously in the early stages of anything, assuming their results are good (which they likely are).
