The latest Kindle upgrade (2.5.2?) has improved PDF viewing
considerably. If you're considering a Kindle & have'nt seen the
improved pdf reader it's probably worth a look.

I've got a vanilla Kindle 2 - DX pdf rendition is doubtless much
better nicer, because of the larger screen.

I agree with whoever expressed misgivings about wireless
connectivity - I won't buy anything with wireless capability,
for that reason. (My K was a gift).

It gets taken along on trips away from home; otherwise is little
used. The battery runs down in about ten days, whether used or
not.

Would not surprise me to learn it calls home regularly, though
wireless is kept turned off.

I see they've got a new, much cheaper "Graphite" 6" Kindle.
It's a linux box - Lots of potential...
