@mattball Why can't you just download the pre-compiled TeX Live CD image?
@leebennett I doubt that's the goal. I read they can't make enough Kindles, so they kept the price high to ration them. Should sell blades.
@macgreg Thanks.
@leebennett Because Apple makes their money on hardware and has lots of R&D. Amazon's business is already content distribution.
@leebennett Why wouldn't they be happy to sell content to non-Kindle owners?
@gruber Good question!
@nst021 I prefer Emacs+AUXTeX or BBEdit for LaTeX. However, TeXShop is easier for the novice: live preview, cheat sheet, tabular GUI, etc.
TeXShop seems much-improved since the last time I used it.
New version of PDFPen is on VT but not Smile's site.
