Troubleshooting Issues about Kindle 3 3G+WIFI

Hicham · 04-16-2011, 04:19 AM

Hi guys,
I have some questions here and here they come:

1- As we all know pdf files arent natively supported by kindle 3 and I am having tourbles all the time to have good quality mobi. files via caliber, so you think there will come a day that Amazon will upgrade the firmware so that it supports pdf NATIVELY?

2- I like to read in French and German on my kindle, so do you think I can use text- to-speech in other languages other than English? Can I also install a german and french dictionary and look for words I dont understand just like I do while reading English texts?

Thanks lots in advance for your answers.

Quite incorrect. The Kindle 3, and the DXG for that matter, do have native support for PDF.

You can buy/install any dictionary you like

Text to speech was designed with English language and accent in mind. If you try to use that with a different language, you won't get the same results. I've even tried myself; Spanish is my native language.
