Ah I have Calibre, I didn't even think of that! Great idea, I'll have to try that at home tomorrow.

Today, it is free to use. However, the promise from Amazon is limited to only a few features, such as free wikipedia. Therefore, don't assume that it will always be free. OR, Amazon might choose to restrict access at some future time.

As I said the only thing I really could see myself using the browser for is for Google's API documentation, and maybe a few other online API docs I would like to be able to reference in those rare instances I don't have internet but need to still coding. Right now in those instances I've used my iPhone which is a touch too small, so I'm wondering how well the 6" displays the google code docs.
