Math equations and other special formatting for Kindle

[Zero Angel]

Hey guys,

Not sure how frequently math equations pop up in your books, but I was curious if anyone knew any way to include math equations with "special formatting" in Kindle?

Everything I try has the equations show up garbled or lose formatting. Researching forums, the "best" suggestion is to make each equation a picture file and embed it into the document.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Might be easiest to do it as an image if it is a complex equation. Otherwise, I don't know you could do it to ensure it comes out right on all screen. Will a Kindle recognize tables? You could try that.

I'm not sure about tables to orient everything. I was thinking more along the lines of superscripts, subscripts, pi, and all the other special symbols used in mathematics.

Definitely make it an image. No question. Anything else runs into problems if people have tinkered their settings, like having a larger text size.

I use a free program called Snipping Tool to take quick pictures of the stuff on my screen. It's very easy and works really well.

Thanks! Not sure if I will need to go that route or not, but it is good to know about! I'm thinking there is a quick "equation -> picture" option in Word.
