yes you can! you just have to ask nicely for help
2) It doesn't have page numbers for the books like everything else published in the last 5 centuries
the rest of us get around it and unless you are using it for research, what's the issue?
3) It has a teeny tiny keyboard instead of a touch screen like half a million phones manage to have
it's not a phone!!!
4) I can't read PDF documents (not the way they look on a PC anyway)
it's not a PC!!!
5) It's not a reading device it's a Amazon e-book selling device
that's where you are confused, that's the PC!
6) I've got a PC (4, in fact) and a BB. I don't NEED another wireless device.
can you read your PC in bed? at the beach? on a ski lift? in an airplane?
7) Searching for a "free" e-book on Amazon is frustrating. I don't want to read romance or "undiscovered" authors or born-again.
oh please! by ALL means don't get to know this site and all of the resources for free and cheap reading material. please PLEASE don't! you have such a perfect negative track record thus far!
I figure I can sell this thing on Craigslist and for $200 get enough used paperbacks to last me until they come out with something truly useful.
I figure you can't!
Please convince me otherwise.
