My experience hasn't been great with my Kindle and PDF's - in fact, I've found formatting problems with even standard .prc files. I suspect that many formatting problems can be overcome by editing the document to suit your particular reader, but who wants to do that?

Some day (I hope) there will be a small number of standardized formats that can relliably reproduce a technical document on a well-defined set of devices. To complement that I'd hope that there would be one or two "killer apps" that can convert anything into one of the accepted standards. We are starting to see moves in that direction with video -- .avi files seem to be the norm and there are a few aps that can do a pretty good job of conversion.

Here's hoping
