Yea, that's why I like the K1, because it still has a memory slot.

That would be perfectly fine with me. I would pay the S3 storage rates if they could integrate it with the kindle. Actually, I keep meaning to get jungledisk/s3 set up to back up my documents and data to the "cloud" but keep putting it off.

1. I've been doing a lot of testing in Calibre converting over thousands of ebooks I've saved up over the years... LIT, PDF, etc. But I always read them on my computer before.

2. Whats a factor of 1024 between friends?

Which Frommer's?

http://www.amazon.com/Frommers-City-...6339927&sr=8-1

As they put it in the foreword: 8.5 lbs if printed and over $200. Yours on the Kindle for $40. I travel a bit and half the cities are places I get to with the other half being places I plan on getting to.

Part of the bloat on my Kindle 2 is buying big tomes like this. I also use my Kindle as a work tool as I find the clipping/annotation tools very useful. So I buy many technical books out of Amazon's extensive technical collection.

Incidentally, they have 10 times as many hard science books as they do science fiction books.

Another reason to have the SD cards

TallMomof2 · 03-12-2009, 07:15 PM

I put all those titles on my Kindle 2 to see how it would perform. It didn't perform too well. Indexing took days and days. Searching all that content is very sluggish. I deleted most of the content and have about 50 items currently loaded.

With my Kindle 1 I have my library on different SD cards in lieu of folders. As long as I have access to my PC (or my server) I have access to my entire library on the K2.

I STILL WANT FOLDERS!
