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

It DOES read pdf, you simply have to email the pdf file to the kindle autoresponse service, and within 30 seconds it comes back to you translated to asw format for the Kindle. Same thing for MsWord docs.
Also, what do you mean it doesn't have wi-fi??? It certainly does!!! I cancelled my broadband service when I got my Kindle (before you got yours) because I can read the websites I follow directly on my Kindle, and I can read/reply to my yahoo emails, and also send my txt updates to my twitter account. The keyboard on the kindle is easy to use, even with 61-year-old fingers, like mine.
Also, I can listen to mp3s on my kindle too.

apparently you are either LYING about having a Kindle or you never really USED it. I also got mine for free from an online book company who wanted me to review it as they were considering making their books available through Amazon. When I let them know that the Kindle would take (translated) pdf files, since the book company already provides pdfs to its users (for a small price), they decided not to enter into an agreement with Amazon, and I still have that Kindle, but I'm going to get the textbook version in a few months after any bugs have been 'worked out'.
