Hello! First post!

I've never been an early adopter, but I'm willing to take the leap of faith on the Kindle. Has anyone tried e-mailing Word files for conversion, either the .10 cent version that comes wirelessly or the free version that's e-mailed to an address for USB transfer? That's what I'd like to use my Kindle for most -- transferring Word documents to read on the fly.

I'd also like to know if there's a way -- a simple way -- to do the formatting myself to create Kindle-friendly documents that I can transfer directly from the computer without going through Amazon's service.

I ordered mine last night -- it says they're back-ordered until Dec. 17th now. Grr.
