Latex Compatability with Ereaders

[Kawakaze]

I just bought an ereader to help me study (on my bosses time =P ), fantastic little thing by the way, cheap and cheerful, no e-ink display so I have colour. Maybe I will consider a colour e-paper machine when they come out and can turn a page without giving bystanders seizures. For 80 quid I am pretty pleased, i already have 3000 books on the damn thing. =D

Only one problem, woorking with .pdfs is very, very slow, up to 10 seconds to load a page. Working with the epub format, the thing is pretty fast. There are all kinds of convertors for x to epub. But they all suck with formulae, sometimes its reasonable, but never perfect, and for the most part it chews them to shreds.

Anyone have a recommendation? I already emailed the supplier, tried conversion to html first, calibre also can't handle this. I have read that .epub is in fact modded html with a little compression, don't know if this is true but seeing as formula come out correct in a browser I am confused as to why my reader is having problems. I also read this is a common problem with pretty much all makes and models, non will do this off the shelf.

I haven't found a good solution yet, which is why I stick to paper. 10 seconds for loading a PDF is unacceptable, and unless you want to get an iPad and buy into Apple's whole exclusionist practices it's not worth the hassle.
