What I'm wondering is if anybody here thinks it would be a good idea to use your Kindle to access all the attachments (word documents, powerpoint files, spreadsheets, etc) in your email. That is, you could see lists of all the attachments you've ever received in your email, search them, etc. and if you want, select them and then have them accessible on your Kindle (usually as a PDF).

In my imagination the typical user would be somebody who always has their Kindle with them anyhow, and could fire it up on the train or whatever to review a proposal, look at a Word doc they were supposed to read, etc. and be able to do so spontaneously, without remembering to copy the file the day before.

I think *I'd* use it, but I'd like to know at least one other person would too, before I spend a month of my life building it.

Thanks for any insights!

No way man feel free to post away. I think it starts to cross the line when people start pimping their product.


Now as to the feedback, I think that is a great idea, however I think saving the extension as a MOBI format would be much much more useful. With A MOBI format the Kindle user can use all of the features such as search, TTS, dictionary, etc. With the PDF you can only read.
