Post Amazon Kindle: Reviewed by Christopher Null

Another review from The Working Guy.
One of Kindle's potentially killer features is the ability to load your own content onto the device. It costs 10 cents to send a document to your Kindle: You just email it as an attachment to your custom @kindle.com email address, and Kindle does the rest, translating it and sending it wirelessly to your reader. (Did I mention that access-anywhere-at-no-charge wireless feature is killer?) I sent a full 250-page book I wrote in .DOC format to my Kindle; it showed up completely flawlessly in a matter of minutes. That said, Amazon really needs to get a PDF translator working for Kindle ASAP.
Yes, there is the PDF issue again. I own dozens of texts in PDF format and would love to get them onto the Kindle. Yet, the PDFs are locked and require me to log into the University.
OH MAN! I just realized something as I was typing this blog post. This is so silly of me. I print the PDF books to OneNote so that I can highlight and ink notes, therefore I can publish the OneNote version to a PDF. This is now unlocked and can be converted to the Kindle. Duh.
