*Cues the insanity* MWAHAHAHAHA! Its here! My new Kindle 3 is here!

E-Ink really DOES look just like paper. o_o I thought the initial screen was a paper slip and I wasn't sure why it couldn't be removed, until I plugged it in to charge it according to the on screen instructions and the darn thing FLASHED...LOL!

I've been insanely converting my entire PDF ebook collection in calibre and sending it to thy kindle email, and everything works beautifully.

Question; how do I delete books from the device? I know Amazon only archives the books I buy on Amazon so I'm not worrying about backups, I've got calibre to manage everything, but since I'm emailing my books to the kindle instead of just straight moving them over, I wonder how do I get them off if I need to make a change?

For example, I often make PDFs of fanfiction I'm reading and every once and awhile I want to -re-download the updated stories when new chapters are added, but having a dozen copies of the same story would get tedious. And if I just send the new chapters that turns into a lot of new files. o_o Any help? Maybe I could store fanfics in chunks, since I can't navigate to chapter sections or anything in these.
