I'm considering asking Santa a Kindle Paperwhite.

My primary use would be to read scientific papers, mostly about physics, and with equations. These papers would be in PDF format, and often two columns.

What can I expect then ? Is there a need to convert/reformat the PDF firsts ? How does the kindle paperwhite display equations, and/or non roman alphabets ?

k2pdfopt is the most effective thing I've found, by far.
