Has anybody tried using arXiv on a web-capable e-ink e-reader?
Like many others here, I'm on the brink of getting an e-reader. Most of the discussions I've seen about e-reading tough pdf's involve editing them with lots of third-party software to make them readable. My question is, can any device bypass that garbage? What I want to be able to do (with my e-reader alone, no PC involved) is wake up the e-reader, go to the arXiv, search for a specific paper (e.g. 1001.0001), download it, and read it on e-ink. Is this too much to ask?
It seems, for instance, that the latest Kindle has "experimental browsing" but I've read that it struggles with academic papers. Can somebody maybe with a new dx review how an attempt at the above goes?
Thanks so much
