I don't think the OP is necessarily talking about reading PDF's on the Kindle, just that Kindle's themselves suck for tech books.

I presume he meant just using a bog standard computer/laptop but I could be wrong...

Sure. My point is it's not a question of Mobi vs. PDF vs. ePub, and probably not Kindle vs. PC vs. tablet. Some of the suck is due to sloppy publishers, but a lot of it is down to the screen size. Getting code onto a 7" monochrome screen so it's comprehensible is a challenge.

Yes, totally agree with you. I don't own an Kindle/iPad/Tablet, but tend to read my tech books on my laptop for this very reason.
