Anything with typesetting beyond that found in your basic penguin paperback is basically unreadable. My initial excitement wore off quickly. Other than the usual cheap sets of classics, I've purchased only a couple of titles for the kindle. In the same time period, I've purchased a dozen or more (non-fiction) paperbacks. The technology is there. Regrettably, until the formatting catches up, I'll be lugging around dead trees...


Really? Unreadable? Really?
