The PDoc feature itself will be great, I think, but the send-to-kindle feature has been diminished in both simplicity and function.
There's no longer a separate @free.kindle.com address as far as I can see. That means that if you have a 3G Kindle, you have to basically set 3G allowance to $0.00 or there's a possibility that send-to-kindle will incur charges.
There are also some restrictions that I don't remember seeing before, such as 'personal use only' and '15 kindle addresses per send-to'. So evidently they are trying to crack down on 3rd party subscriptions that would use that mechanism to bypass Kindle Store (I was not aware that was a problem..).
Anyway this is not the right thread for extended discussion, but it has got my dander up a little bit. Not used to seeing mis-steps by Amazon.

Yeah it has lessen the excitement for me too. I do not like the changes if it's not broke don't fix it.
