What was it like?
The FAQ says no tables, how do you handle class tables?
Well, that was an appealingly swift and helpful yet thoroughly disheartening response.
Yea, I've published a few kindle releases, all fiction. Well, not entirely accurate. One ofy two Legend releases includes a epub and a kindle version. But for pathfinder, if it involves even moderate crunch, forget it. Tables are completely out unless they are an image. Serious artwork, not gonna work. No way to make sure monster stat blocks fit on a single page (or even 4 pages, depending on how much formatting goes into the monster).
Other (read, less crunchy) games can do it. Pathfinder, no.
If you want to make a class work, you can always fire up Microsoft Publisher. All of my tables are 300 dpi .png files due to the limitations of Scribus in that regard.
Perhaps I'm not understanding the question properly. My first-gen Kindle Fire reads the Pathfinder PDFs just fine, although using the Acrobat search feature is painfully slow.
Or are you talking about something like a flash game ? (*.swf file ?)
I think the thought is that epubs and kidle format read much faster and have a wider variety of functions on a kindle or other e-reader vs pdfs. At least for now, if somehow it could be made to work, it would be a better option for kindle/ereader owners vs a pdf. I know I'd give preference to such products if they could work over pdfs. Because despite the fact that my kindle fire handles pdfs ok, it still has some lag and such, and if it could be made to work in kindle format, it would be much easier to use.
Can you publish a PDF in the Kindle store?

Not sure about PDF format, but I do know there's a different format they use for (for example) color comic books that only works on the newer Kindles (i.e. not the older primarily-text-based ones).
