Hello, all - Have had a Kindle for about 6 months, but just purchased the iLiad (can you say conspicuous consumption?

) because of Kindle PDF issues. I do genealogy and saw e-book readers as the perfect portable library for all my documents and notes. While the Kindle will take PDF files with some effort, the formatting is generally messed up - not so useful when dealing with generational material! I thought I could wait-out Amazon finally getting their act together in terms of PDFs, but the frustration level was too high!

iLiad learning curve is a bit higher than Kindle; actually finding myself reading the manual!

Terrific forum! --cosfordparker
