To Piper:

Thanks. I have Eraser and it’s good to know I can use it.

To JeremyR:

I just need to read Word docs converted to PDF—no tables or diagrams and so forth. From what I’ve seen, in many places, the Kindle 3 seems to handle that well, such as what I see in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crgpr1LO7ns

If you or anybody feels that would give me trouble though, I’d love to hear about it. (I see 6Charlong notes, “The screen is too small to read PDF image files but it can render PDF text files in a more or less readable form.”)

To all:

As for my question concerning confidentiality, it’s interesting (and maybe a little alarming) that consumers (Kindle owners—informed ones, in fact) do not seem to know with certainty how invasive Amazon.com might be.
