I'm thinking of getting one of the new Kindles, and being able to read Hacker Monthly on it would be a big selling point.
Has anyone put Hacker Monthly on their Kindle? How does that gorgeous PDF translate to the Kindle?

#12I didn't appreciate Hacker Monthly until this issue. I missed "Lessons Learned From 13 Failed Software Products" when it passed through HN. Too many late nights at work! Lesson learned: summarize the strong signals in dynamic data. Not everyone looks for changes 10 times a day. On a related note, is there a RSS feed of the top daily HN links? It would be great to review past articles and comment threads when I get ba…
It's not an rss feed, but in the history dropdown, you can see the best page cached everyday for the last 7 days, then, each week for the last 4 weeks, then once per month for the last 12, then every year. It also remembers the snapshots you've previously viewed and shades them down. http://hackerbra.in/best (same done for front page and ask) - inline top comments available
edit: for the rss feed, see http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/

My wife ordered a Kindle DX for my birthday and it should be here in a few days. The first thing that I plan to do is put magazines like this one and a few PDFs I bought to the test. I plan to write a detailed review with pictures in my blog. If you can wait a week or two, I'll write a very thorough review.

Sweet. I would buy one of the brand new ones that don't ship for a month, so I can definitely wait. I look forward to your review.

#16Reading through the issue it looks like another good one. Does the graphic on page 31 render oddly for anyone else? I have random characters all over the image, it doesn't seem correct. ( Using Preview.app on Mac OS X 10.5.8 )

Just fixed it (reimport the artwork as image instead of PDF). Hopefully it's good now (I can't replicate the issue here).

I am not sure why either. Maybe coz of the link. On Cloud.App, it was still set to private at the time of posting
Anyways here is the screenshot again: http://cl.ly/1pjn

#19I'd love to have an audio version of these.
How do you plan to have the audio version of the code snippets?
Some things are just not meant to be in audio.

#20This issue is amazing. Even though I check Hacker News almost everyday, I missed out on a lot of gem. Thank you.
