Kindle 2

[Slamz]

Kindle owners (slamz),

I read you can email word docs to your kindle. Have you tried this? What does it look like? Is the formatting still in place? I assume it's "view only" correct?

I can?

I dunno. I'll have to look into it. I have it right in front of me and I'm not sure how I would do that.



Actually wanted to revisit this thread and say how happy I am with the Kindle. There's nothing quite like finishing a book and having the next book in the series in literally 30 seconds. Or I hear about a book that sounds good and 30 seconds later I'm reading it.

Battery life is very long if you remember to turn the wireless off. I'm sure you could read several books back to back on one charge with wireless off. Wireless on you'll need to charge it every 3 days or so, I'd say, with moderate usage per day.

Also, I was stuck in traffic yesterday for about an hour and a half and decided to have the Kindle read to me. It's not bad. It makes you focus on it moreso than a proper audio book, because the robot voice isn't perfect and sometimes pauses where it shouldn't and fails to pause where it should or slightly mispronounces something (like "read" being pronounced "reed" when it should have been pronounced "red"). You can still get the story going on in your mind but it's a little like listening to your Chinese coworker who doesn't have a complete grasp of English -- gotta focus on it a little more than usual.

Quite doable, though.
