Don´t know if EP PDF is compatible with amazon's device or with any other eReader, if not, will you make a compatible version for such devices?

The [url=http://www.eclipsephase.com/core-rulebook-lightweight-version]lightweight version[/url] is readable, technically, but the text would be illegibly small for many people, given the size of the Kindle's display and the inability to adjust font sizes in a PDF (for obvious formatting reasons). I imagine it's fine on a Kindle DX, but on a Kindle 1 or 2, it's about four pixels high.

In my experience, I find RPG manual PDFs do not really work that well with the Kindle. Smaller screen, black & white only, and sluggish navigation.
While I LOVE reading regular books on the Kindle, I believe these game manuals are better suited for tablet PCs and laptops as of right now.

Re: Amazon Kindle
The major problem with displaying game books on e-book readers (other than file format incompatibility) is page size. Unless your Kindle is the DX, then it's just too small. I currently use an iRex DR 1000s (which has an 10" screen, roughly A5 page size) with a 4gb SD card with more than 100 game books on it.
Unfortunately, there appears to be a format incompatibility between the EP book and my DR, and I can't bring the book up. But it is the only book that I've had an unsolvable problem with loading on the DR. At some point, I intend to upgrade the firmware to see if that fixes the problem.

Re: Amazon Kindle
I ran the v2.0 PDF of EP through [url=http://poppler.freedesktop.org]pdftotext[/url] and managed to extract the text from the file. It displays... okay, one supposes, on my Kindle, but I have not had time to page through more than a small fraction of the text. It seems to work decently well for extracting the text though trying to refer to the tables in the book may not work well.
