Hi all, I've done a LaTeX version of 41445 and generated PDFs in Kindle size and A5. They are uploaded at: Kindle sized: http://www.hursts.eclipse.co.uk/frank-6.pdf A5: http://www.hursts.eclipse.co.uk/frank-6.pdf The Kindle sized one gives 11pt text for devices with a 6 inch diagonal and has very small margins. It is designed for use on smaller e-ink style devices. The A5 one gives 12pt text on a 10.1 inch diagonal and has margins, page numbers, running headers and suchlike. It is designed for larger tablets, general purpose computers and printing. I would be grateful if you could try them out on any devices you have and let me know if anything doesn't work. Also, I would like to know if you spot any formatting issues. Many thanks Jon Hurst p.s. If you are interested in the LaTeX itself, it is available at: https://github.com/JonHurst/frankenstein-imp

I am confused as to why you would want to generate such a PDF for Kindle? [yes I tried it on my gen1 Kindle Fire.]

I prefer the typography LaTeX produces to that which my Kindle's layout engine acheives with mobi or that which my Sony ereader acheives with epub. You sacrifice the ability to change fonts on the fly which is important to some people, so you still need epub/mobi versions -- the PDF would just be an additional rendering option for those that prefer it.
