<p>I was thinking about buying an ebook reader but a friend of mine who got a Kindle 2 International told me he have problems with academic pdf with equations. As kindle have no native pdf support (and I'm really not wanting to buy a Kindle dx - too expensive) he had to use Amazon's conversion service and the equations are not correctly converted.</p> <p>I usually read lots of articles in pdf with lots of big equations and graphs so I'm concerned about buying a reader that cannot render this things right. Had any of you had a bad experience with this kind of stuff?</p> <p>If I buy a reader with native pdf support like Nook will I have this problem?</p> <p>Another thing that bothers me is about how comfortable it is to read a typically formated scientific article like this one for example: <a href="http://arxiv.org/pdf/0911.1313v1" rel="nofollow">http://arxiv.org/pdf/0911.1313v1</a></p> <p>How many paragraphs will fit in the screen with a decent font size? Will changing the fonts size ruin the formatting of the equations? Will the equations be correctly displayed?</p> <p>Well. Thanks in advance for the answers.</p>

<p>The Kindle 2 now supports PDFs natively, though the smaller screen size will be an issue compared to the DX. Of course, that's the same with the Nook or Sony Reader, so the decision shifts from that to other differences. Here are some screenshots of the PDF you linked to. The text is a bit small, but changing the rotation helps quite a bit.</p> <p><img src="http://ebookarchitects.com/images/ereaderquestions/kindlePDF1.gif" alt="image 1" /> <img src="http://ebookarchitects.com/images/ereaderquestions/kindlePDF2.gif" alt="image 2" /> <img src="http://ebookarchitects.com/images/ereaderquestions/kindlePDF3.gif" alt="image 3" /> <img src="http://ebookarchitects.com/images/ereaderquestions/kindlePDF4.gif" alt="image 4" /></p>
