My experiences so far with the Kindle 3.
It has a superb screen, and its real easy on the eyes.
Reading PDFs in landscape is bearable, but still a bit of a squeeze. Zooming and panning is a bit slow too. You cant also use the chapter up/down buttons with PDFs and you cant hyperlink through the Table Of Contents. PDFs are more geared for sequential reading or alternatively flicking to bookmarks.
I love the ability to email docs to your kindle address and it syncing up through wifi/3G.
You can also convert PDFs and Word Docs to AZW by emailing you @free.kindle.com email address with the subject "convert".
Battery life is not a worry.
It can read AZW docs to you, if you like listening to Stephen Hawkins read to you.
I have a lot of PDFs on my PC, and cant read for long on an LCD screen. So the kindle makes accessing them instantly a bonus. But for me the benefits of having all my manuals & docs in one readable device, are worth the backup time (should I lose it).
Velocio, shame you didnt tell us about the discount earlier. Might be worth starting another thread listing sites/products that LFGSS gets a kickback on.
