I've attempted to read technical PDFs on my Kindle. You either need a magnifying glass (if you try to do it a page at a time) or spend the whole time scrolling. Maybe scrolling isn't a big deal on a Kindle Touch, but it's not fun on a standard Kindle.

I don't think this is a question of formats; I think it's a question of "How do we show legible code samples on a 7" screen?".

I don't think any end users will want them, and I don't think they're going to convert very well. But I don't think it would feel obtrusive if properly separated (eg. as an email footer or header).

This should be easy to test: create a new landing page, add a link to your emails ("10% off our pro package this month only!"), and track clickthroughs/referrals. If it does well, great. If not, you only spent a couple of hours on it.

SEEKING WORK – London (or remote)

I'm a backend-focused full-stack developer, best suited to PHP/Python/Javascript but experienced in many non-Microsoft languages. I spent 4 years at Last.fm as a web developer, so I know how to scale out your products. I like to help shape a product and company direction as well as build it, so I'm ideal if you want a collaborator as well as a coder.

I'm a Linux user. I have a laptop that's my main machine and a fileserver for storage. I try not to keep anything on the laptop, but have my programming projects & config files on it (so I can work if I'm away from home).

The fileserver is where most of my stuff lives; it gets NFS mounted to the laptop. It's got two drives as RAID1, and backs itself up to an external hard drive using rdiff-backup. It also backs itself up offsite using duplicity to a server on another continent. Everything's encrypted, so if anything gets stolen I only have to worry about the material loss.
