Hello,

I live in Brazil and because of Amazon's recent adition (International Kindle 2), I have been considering the Kindle 2. The problem is that I'd use it a LOT to read pdf documents for college. How well does it handle it? I've read the mobileread wiki and I was happy to see that Amazon does not charge you for converting (if you transfer it via usb). Does Calibre convert well?

Another thing, if I buy an ebook from Amazon Store, can I transfer it to my computer?

The other option I had in mind was the Sony PRS-600, but the glare issue is kinda preventing me from buying it. And the Kindle 2 is a beautiful device.

Regards,
Luiz
