Cookbook addicts - which ones work on Kindle?

[Xiaoxiong]

I have loads of hard copy cookbooks which I love and I now use EatYourBooks to keep track of them (thanks to I think FellatioNelson that suggested it here, thanks ever so much!)

However I am surgically attached to my iPhone and often refer to the How to Cook Anything app or food blogs because my phone is always to hand. After a recent move and backbreaking amounts of book boxes DH plaintively suggested no new cookbooks and just getting kindle versions if necessary.

I have the kindle app for iphone but I'm a bit leery of cookbooks for kindle. Are they legible and formatted properly? Does it separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of pictures and other filler? Is the experience with no pictures just miserable?

Can anyone recommend cookbooks that work well on the Kindle?

Hopeful bump?

I don't think I can help you that much but the cook books I have on my Kindle (all vegan/vegetarian so not popular authors) I find hard to read. At the size of text I read not all the recipe is on the one page and there are few if any pictures in the books. Using the index is harder than a book and because my kindle does not have a touch screen I can't swipe pages to turn. To use the buttons on the side I have to make sure my hands are clean and dry. So I don't like cook books on my Kindle to use while cooking but I still like to read them. Sorry I can't be of any help but you did look lonely with no replies :(

No multi that's really helpful, thanks! Confirms my gut instinct that Kindle cookbooks are a false economy given that they are pretty much the same price as the hard copy (eg. Paul Hollywood How to Bake is £8 something on Kindle and £9 in hard copy).

I couldn't really imagine if anything other than Elizabeth David-type cookbooks would come out ok on the Kindle but just wanted to see if I was being biased against Kindle and whether anyone had any other experiences.
