Hello! I plan to get a Kindle 3 soon, and have begun investigating the ins and outs of everything.
I happen to be a student of sorts, and I do extensive studying from sets of esoteric pdf books. Previously, I had been printing these pdfs one-by-one, and having them comb-bound as I had the money. After a few years, not only has the cost been adding up, but my bookshelves are now crowded with floppy (and difficult to identify) comb and spiral bound books. Also, when I want to search a particular book, I find I have to go back to the computer and open up a pdf file to find the particular book I'm looking for, then go back to my bookshelf to find the book in question.
I think the Kindle will help me a lot, as I can have dozens of my esoteric books in one place, and I can also key word search for particular information.
I am using a Macbook, and downloaded the Calibre program to begin converting my many pdf files. I'm not very pleased with how they are converting, so I think I'll pop over to the Calibre forum and ask some questions there.
That's all!
for reading this far!
