Thought you was talking about the old fire things c..c

lol ! :P

I have a kindle and I love it.

I dont think it supports DjVus, they might be able to convert it with there auto convert to kindle feature, but I've never tried. It read PDF's converted this way

according to the website Content Formats Supported: Kindle (AZW), TXT, Audible (formats 4, Audible Enhanced (AAX)), MP3, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively; PDF, HTML, DOC, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP through conversion.

I don't suppose it would be too much trouble to see how that book I linked to looks on the Kindle? I am curious if it reads right or if it just doesn't work. If its a hassle don't worry about it! I am just curious. :3

It doesn't, but there are conversion programs out there (I use calibre) that can convert just about anything to a kindle supported format.

I also my kindle. Best piece of tech I ever spent money on. :)

What I curious about is what it looks like one the kindle, specifically those old books with the illustrations. :3

Give me a couple hours to get work done, I'll load it and let you know. :)

I'm currently reading a book with interior illustrations and they display beautifully; but it's an Amazon book. I'll check the pdf conversions. :)

i think all the info you need is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Kindle :)

No but I got my dad one for his birthday once! :D

I don't know of any readers that use .djv files. When comparing, the Sony Reader fit my need better (cheaper, smaller, takes SDHC cards). Be sure to check that out, too.

There are probably better alternatives out there. Even though it applies only to their format when purchased from them, their practice of retaining control of files should not be supported with a Kindle purchase. It's already happened where some book was pulled for whatever reason, and while anyone that bought it got a refund, they also found the book to be gone from the device, thorugh no fault of their own.

Check out the alternatives!

I am not looking very seriously into a Kindle. I am mostly just curious how a PDF looks on one, such as the one I linked in my entry.

As far as the display goes, any e-ink reader is going to have the same advantages and disadvantages, with little variation. They should all look very crisp and clear, but the penalty is a long refresh time. I would imagine a PDF that properly contains font information would look pretty spiffy on a good e-ink display.

I can't say anything specific or detailed, as I have never owned such a device. But I've seen store display models, and they're pretty cool!

I've got two Kindles, the 1st gen and the 2nd. I'd buy the DX if I had the money or hadn't already bought the Kindle 2.

You should have an e-mail address just for your Kindle. It'll be something like <Kindlename>@kindle.com. Send a PDF, HTML or DOC file to that address and it will be converted and sent wirelessly to your Kindle for 15 cents per megabyte. Or send it to <kindlename>@free.kindle.com and it will be converted and e-mailed back to you for free, but you'll have to plug the Kindle into your computer and copy the file yourself.

Or you can convert them yourself using a program such as Calibre http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ or Stanza http://www.lexcycle.com/stanza You'll still have to plug the Kindle into your computer and copy the books manually.

I have one, let me DL it and see how it looks. I opted for the 2nd gen instead of the DX due to the fact that I lay in bed and hold it with one hand so it'll probably look bizarre.

So far not so good. Stanza converted it into a single wall of text without breaks between words. Mobi wouldn't convert it at all continuously giving an error, and even bringing in straight plain text caused a block of text without paragraph breaks. Most likely this means the person who originally formatted it did it shoddily. I emailed the PDF to my Kindle it's huge though so we'll see if it goes through.
