I Heart My Kindle
Six months later, I’m still loving my Kindle ebook reader. I had watched plenty of electronic book readers come and go over the years, and reviewed plenty for various publications. Before Amazon got into the game, I would never have laid my own money on the line for one of these devices. Yet the Kindle continues to be the single most satisying electronics purchase I’ve ever made.
I was inspired to write this, because today — for the first time — I tried e-mailing a PDF document (a copy of Max Tegmark’s paper “The Mathematical Universe”) to my Kindle, and the conversion came out beautifully. It’s still considered an experimental feature, but the Kindle converter transferred handily what began as a fairly complex PDF document loaded with hyperlinks and multi-column formatting.
I have to say that I love mine too! I got it for my birthday in May, after your positive endorsement, I may add. And it has been wonderful. In fact I got addicted to a book series and stayed welded to it for a week, and only had to recharge it once.
