I've bought maybe 15 titles through Kindle (on the iPad) and I don't have a problem with the Kindle app but I really do have a problem with the quality of lots of the conversions - these seem to vary between acceptable through to downright shoddy.
So while I don't think there is a problem with the quality of Kindle itself some of the content has been converted in a way that really hurts the experience for me.

The reading experience for books made of text, yeah. This isn't that.
As a kindle user, how do you find textbooks with diagrams in them? I heard they lack the resolution to display diagrams crisply.
I generally buy a hardcopy, or do pdf. I use the kindle to read books primarily (not textbooks, news, periodicals, etc), but I definitely agree that some of the conversions with images aren't great and diagrams aren't always crisp.
Does anyone have any input using actual textbooks on a kindle, or kindle dx? The iPad is great for diagrams/textbooks so long as you aren't reading pages upon pages at at time.
Maybe I'm being hard headed, but for books that aren't related to programming, I don't think I'd want any multimedia being dropped in to the pages... Right now I would say the reading experience on an actual Kindle is unmatched, and the other apps are just there to support the hardware and add convenience.
