Has anyone tried the cookbooks for kindles.  Do you all know if Taste of Home has cookbooks for kindles or e-readers?

What I've heard about Kindles and cookbooks has been so bad that I have never tried to get a cookbook on my Kindle. The makers may have fixed it by now, or made it better, but for a long time cookbooks---the recipe lists, at least--- just did not "translate" well, and were difficult, if not impossible, to use.....

And, the way I cook, it would not be a good idea to have the kindle in the kitchen!

There were three (short) Gooseberry cookbooks for free a couple of days ago.  Their formatting looked pretty good.
