Hey guys i was looking for a e-reader maybe about 6 months ago and got an Ipad. While i liked the IPad i felt like i didn't get enough use out of it to justify the cost so i sold it (for a profit believe it or not). My main concern before was being able to read my tech pdf & chm files. To be honest i don't think i care that much anymore. I'f i'm going to read a pdf then i will just use my computer. I know the kindle is definitely not good for tech type books when they are pdf...but are they fine when they are kindle formatted? 99.9% of the time i read tech type books. I wouldn't be willing to spend the extra on the dx because your close to the cost of the ipad but if tech books are good when they are kindle formatted then id be willing to buy a kindle 3 wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Ncage
