Re: Kindle: Amazon\'s new wireless reading device
[ QUOTE ]
I have a pretty solid collection of reading material in Word and .pdf format. Would I be able to read these? [/ QUOTE ] I bet not. If so, this thing would be MUCH better. I have a a lot of pdfs, too.

"...Wherever possible, the releases are available in plain text..." "...But some formats that are not easily editable, such as PDF, are generally not considered to fit in with the goals of Project Gutenberg... a search at the official site yields 249 results for pdf. plain text finds "More than 1000". furthermore, just because a book is available in pdf it doesn't mean that it's not also available in another more transparent format. i'd be somewhat surprised if that was the case with any of them.

Re: Kindle: Amazon\'s new wireless reading device
it would be something if amazon let u browse to project gutenberg from the kindle and d/l those books...they could even charge you $1 per download for the internet service...but they wouldn't do that because the goal with kindle is to get people to buy their books exclusively from amazon.com
