If the book you are interested in is likely to have formulas, photographs, diagrams, charts or text that must be formatted in some special way (e.g., computer code or poetry), avoid getting the Kindle editions for now. The lack of resolution and sophistication in formatting means that you will lose most of the information in such non-plain-text data.
