Custom PDF files for Kindle

Hi altogether,

I bought a kindle two weeks ago and getting more and more excited about it.

As I a experiment with generation of PDF content for a long time, I started producing PDF for the kindle. Basically I am doing a conversion of the sort
<SOME_FORMAT> to XML to LATEX to PDF.

I think the text looks better than MOBI-Pocket or HTML or plain text, because the typesetting is done by latex and you have professional layout and fonts and all the goodies that come with latex.

It was easy to generate a table of contents and a Reference section as well. I attached as a sample a book about richard stallman written by Sam Williams. The book is free, as everything must be free that is related to Stallman.

I just want to know if you think this idea of special PDFs is interesting for others as well ...
