That's so cool to hear. I haven't even had mine that long, and I'm already an admirer. Sound like I'll dig it even more as time passes.
(Note to those on the fence. I'll give you some background info about myself: I'm NOT a big book reader. Pre-Kindle, less than 5 a year. NOT a big gadget person. Software and virtual servers w/too many providers? Yes. But gadgets no (i hate "stuff." Have no printer, a bad, simple cell phone, no dvr, cable box...). I just really like studying and reading, and the Kindle helps a lot with that.
I'm not saying, "get a Kindle!!" I'm just saying if you're trying to map your needs + interests to people who have one, those are some things about me...)
- Blasa 17y agoI'm pretty much the same hate stuff kinda mindset. So I'm curious did you get the DX or the original. DX seems more useful for pdfs/studying but less pocketable.
- thesethings 17y agoI got the regular size Kindle 2.0. It does suck for unmodified PDF's, but i have yet to try: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1089068 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1089068 That said, I "bought in" intellectually accepting that I shouldn't expect to straight up enjoy all my PDF's on this thing. I decided e-readers would be something that would be worth it (for me) to take a hit with the early adopter tax.
