Hi everyone,

first post here.

I'm a busy university student, I haul tons of books and was wondering if the kindle would allow me to lighten my backpack....

I have a couple of my textbooks downloaded in large PDF files....one of the books is ~400MB in size.

I realize the kindle doesn't display colour images, which is fine by me, but the textbooks do show detailed diagrams etc

I was just wondering if a modified kindle 3 can handle these types of files, as this is what I would be using the kindle for.

If the kindle would not be good for this use, are there any inexpensive readers (around kindle pricepoint) that would be better suited for tihs?

thanks
