I was thinking about getting a Kindle, but then every book review on Amazon includes a complaint about book being unreadable on Kindle. And I was interested mainly in books about programming that include listings which get garbled. So I thought why bother... At least I can read PDF on iPad.

You can read PDFs on a Kindle, too. That's how I read all of my programming books.

But it has a smaller screen, so I am not bothering.

Formatting problems are due to many things, most of which are the fault of Amazon itself. The Previewer sucks and all of their products render books differently.
