Boing Boing Gadgets published 15 Things I Just Learned About The Amazon Kindle.

A few of these things are worthy of point out:

• It can play Audible audiobooks, but cannot download them over the air using the "Whispernet" EV-DO service. They must be downloaded using the Audible manager, then copied to the Kindle via USB.
• PDF is not supported. At all. Even via the conversion process.
• Having copied over .DOC, .TXT, .RTF, .PDF, .GIF, .JPEG, and .PDB files directly to the Kindle via USB, only the .TXT file showed up for viewing.

The conversions of PDFs are vital. Hopefully Amazon will fix this on the next version.
