RE: $299 Kindle: Great, now make it read PDF!

Perhaps I am confused, but one of the main pushes for this devices is in schools. The cost of textbooks is out of control. The downloadable version of textbooks is much more affordable, kill less trees, and definitely weighs less. This device that I have wanted for over a year, and am still waiting for it to come into my price availability, is wonderful. I have had the ability to use it for a couple days and loved it. Portability is easier than a laptop.

There are textbooks that have been converted for Kindle but are not available to just go to and read online.

I still hold that this is a good investment for college bound students ... and one that over time will definitely pay for itself. But Amazon should add the PDF feature to both versions.
