Like you, I also much enjoy using the dictionary, highlighting, and footnoting features available only with azw text -- not to mention the ability to slide effortlessly into Wikipedia to find the corresponding entry for a highlighted name or phrase. (And from Wikipedia, one can, in turn, often go easily to marvelous primary source material linked directly to the Wikipedia text.) <br /><br /> Not incidentally, thanks for what you do, and welcome back to this part of the world. <br /><br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520943693730494671.post-898871571844756552010-07-26T18:52:33.614-04:002010-07-26T18:52:33.614-04:00Jeff... thanks for letting me know!

I haven't tried with 2.5 so that's a great option to have: ability to read pdf or convert to azw. <br /><br />I also prefer azw format for many books, mostly because I use the dictionary feature all the time and I like to highlight/ add notes. <br /><br />Thanks for the heads up!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269159777123145794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520943693730494671.post-44324882529942661992010-07-26T18:28:21.767-04:002010-07-26T18:28:21.767-04:00So you know, Danielle (and Nico): My Kindle 2 is ...So you know, Danielle (and Nico): My Kindle 2 is the latest (Version 2.56), and I'm delighted to report that one can *still* easily convert a .pdf document into .azw format for easy reading on one's Kindle. <br /><br /> The technique is the same as before -- one sends the document as an attachment to the appropriate Amazon Kindle e-mail address after including the word "Convert" in the subject line -- and I for one strongly prefer the resultant text: far easier to read and navigate; great choice of font size; access to the (excellent) Kindle dictionary; and the like. <br /><br /> Of course, for those who do want to "pan and zoom" in .pdf, they have that option as well. <br /><br />Jeff NAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520943693730494671.post-37940065621727646192010-06-28T09:24:01.154-04:002010-06-28T09:24:01.154-04:00Hi Nico

If you can, find a nearby Target that is stocking them so you can test one out. Target recently started to sell them, although I am not sure how well the staff know the product yet.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269159777123145794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520943693730494671.post-85644871167209395652010-06-28T02:19:43.565-04:002010-06-28T02:19:43.565-04:00just wondering seeing all the many reviews of the ...just wondering seeing all the many reviews of the kindle.<br />firstly can you put a pdf directly on the kindle through usb? how easy is it to read pdfs on the kindle 2 especially with the new pan and zoom and text size? and is it better to convert it first to something else from pdf then put on the kindle or leave it alone?<br /><br />and lastly how does pdf handling compare to the sony reader prs-300Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100452066752438630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520943693730494671.post-59869541195423533902010-06-14T21:53:08.645-04:002010-06-14T21:53:08.645-04:00Got mine!
