You have to email the files to a pre-specified address and they convert it into the native format and push it to your device. There is a 10 cent charge per file to do this. It seems PDF conversion isn't supported (at least from reading the manual I found on Amazon) but that may change.
- ivankirigin 19y agoPaying $10 to put the 100 ebooks you've purchased into this reader is reasonable after paying hundreds for the device.
- ajju 19y agoThink of it this way. If apple suggested that you can transfer AAC files to the ipod for free but you have to pay 10 cents per MP3 you want to transfer, would you like it? Turns out there is a free alternative but it sucks (takes 15 minutes per file)..and that's now without the system being overloaded. Worse news...no PDF support, not even via email http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2007/11/19/15-things-i-just-lea.html http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2007/11/19/15-things-i-just-le... Also, what makes you think that I purchase all my documents? What about papers I have downloaded off the web for free? Technical documents? Reports? God. The device has USB. It has an SD card. It has EVDO. But I can't transfer my DOC and PDF files directly without waiting for 15 minutes and/or paying 10 cents per file?
- ivankirigin 19y agoI don't people have as many ebooks as they have mp3s. A better comparison might be $0.10 per artist. But you're right. No PDF support is idiotic. [edit: a tool to print an ebook to a textfile makes this easy]
