A little Latex class
A new Kindle 3 has prompted me to write a basic latex class that can produce pdfs in the correct size and format. The class file can be found here along with an example pdf. Care must be taken with equations as the small Kindle screen width often results in them running off the page. The page size may be a little small for the dx, but the class file can easily be modified for a sligtly larger screen.Publications
