That sounds like a good idea. I have found an old outdated journal that fits perfectly and am going to try turning it into a 'fake book' when I have a free weekend.

The library requires some kind of PID thing from MobiPocket Reader to download MobiPocket books (I don't even know if they're the same thing as Mobi books).

Thank you for the detailed response!
I have already received my Kindle and am enjoying it so far. After reading about how much like real paper the screen was I guess my expectations were a bit too high and I thought it would have zero glare. There is still a little, but it's a hundred times better than trying to read on, say, an iPhone.
So far I have loaded in some PDFs and free books from PG. I must say that the Kindle is really good for reading art instruction ebooks - it's much easier to be able to reference the material without having scroll up and down a page all the time on a laptop's small screen. It just works, for some reason, though the laptop screen is still larger than the Kindle's.
