I'm thinking about buying the new Kindle 3, however as I dont have any experience with e-readers I have some questions.
1. I'm mostly interested in reading scientific papers in .pdf downloaded from the journals' sites and libraries. I've read that there is a problem as the pdfs are not recognized as the kindle file formats and you cannot zoom without being able to increase fonts. So you then have to scroll right and left for example in order to read.
Is this fixed in the new Kindle? And if not, will a conversion to the Kindle format make me able to read it like any book, as it is implied here:

As my main concern is papers, reading them easily would be very important for me.
2. Also this sending via e-mail thing. If I just use my wi-fi home network to send a file to the mail for conversion, will I be charged or this goes only if you use the 3G. Can I use my USB for file conversion or the e-mail procedure is needed?
3. For the 3G. I'm outside the US, is it still available for me and without any charge?
4. Can Kindle access the internet through its usb to a laptop/pc that has connection?
4. What internet access is available outside the US? Wikipedia? Some social network things like Twitter? I read some topics here, but people were not sure.
Thanks a lot
