Not only is kindlepdfviewer much better pdf reader with all necessary zooming options, gamma corection, pdf underscoring, reflow of scanned pdfs, night mode etc. but it also reads epub, djvu, cbz and allows for folders and subfolders.

Reading A4 document in landscape mode with fit-to-document-content-width will even make the letters appear slightly bigger than on the A4 paper, because it spreads document completely across the whole screen unlike kindle's native pdf reader which shows 1/5 inch margins.

I read a lot of djvu books, and if I want to read it on iPad 1 using free apps it is impossible if djvu is big and complex one (e.g. scanned big encyclopedia), so I usually convert them to pdf for iPad but read them as djvu on kindle dx without any problem.

Since it reads cbz comic files (not cbr), you should take a minute to convert cbr comic to cbz beforehand.

I tried this software and I can see it has some utility, but the main thing I'm looking for is the ability to annotate PDF documents. The native PDF reader is fine but without the ability to annotate it's basically useless to me. I noticed that someone has come up with a way to update the firmware to 3.1 but apparently I'd have to also own a Kindle 3 to do it, and it's just getting too crazy. I may know someone who has a Kindle 3 that I could use, but... I don't know that I know them, if you know what I mean?

Simplest thing is probably to just return this and go back to using my tablet. Moonreader+ Pro seems to work great. If they just made firmware for the DXG I'd be all set.
