It is a neat concept that of Kindle books and wireless delivery, start reading almost immediately, text-to-speech, etc. This does not really do anything for me, however. I have a list of 17 books that I need to buy for work projects and to use for reference material for the items I am currently working on. So I go the Amazon website and select to search the Kindle book store. I enter the names of these books one by one. Nothing. Zero. None of these books are available in Kindle format. One of such books is this one that I currently have checked out from the local university library. It would be very convenient to have this book in Kindle format. The paper copy is heavy and difficult to read comfortably.

I'm realizing more and more that my Kindle DXG would be strictly to read PDFs. I have searched 39 technical books in total and only 2 are available in Kindle format.
