So I actually received an Amazon Kindle for Christmas this year and I was wondering if anyone knew some must-buys in Math or Physics for the Kindle. The more I thought about this, I wondered if making a thread full of must-have ebooks for the Kindle. Not just for my own personal use, but for the benefit of any member here who happen to own a Kindle (Hence the Science and Philosophy parts in the title as opposed to just Math and Physics).

Douggggggg, that's actually a good idea. Let me ask you a question regarding kindle.

Is it good for science books? (let's say math books - equations, tables, graphics, etc etc)

If you can, it would be nice to see a screenshot or something

I'm actually out of the country so any pictures with my phone cannot be sent to my email until I get back. I was reading a sample of a Differential Equations book and it looked quite nice. Another book I was reading had figures that were in the text, if they referred to it, I could just select where it referred to. Then I would be taken to the page that has the figure on it. (for example, as see in fig 12.3). So far all I have bought was Soren Kierkegaard "Fear and Trembling." It was about 0.78 British Pounds. So less than $1.50 and it is a pretty good book.

I also received a Kindle for Christmas. It is a DX version and I find it quite convenient for reading science books. The only problem I run into so far is that one cannot change a font for pdf files downloaded from a computer. One can only to zoom in the page. But there is a simple work around the issue - turn the Kindle in the horizontal position and a layout of the text will change accordingly.

Well - if we are on the topic of ebook readers. What is the best one for DJVU files? Obviously they cannot be "re-flowed" so a larger screen would come in handy...
