few months ago i bought kindle 3g<\/a>. below what’s good and what’s bad about it.
\n<\/p>\n

overall i’m quite happy. kindle became my main reading device. it’s in my backpack all the time, with tens of unread articles\/presentations etc. how do i use it? i grab interesting pdfs of the net and send them to my address @free.kindle.com<\/a>; in turn, whenever wifi is available kindle downloads them and stores on local flash media. this is quite handy method, i dont need to dock\/undock the device every time i want to add some new content.<\/p>\n

there’s a lot of web articles i’d like to read later so i’ve hacked small php script that uses wysiwyg html editor<\/a> to which i paste the content and wkhtmltopdf <\/a>to render html produced by ckeditor to pdf and mailed [technical sidenote – i had to use –lowquality<\/i> option for wkhtmltopdf, without it some pdfs were displayed truncated in the middle on the kindle]. i usually grab the interesting part not whole web page. this works surprisingly well – formatting is preserved, inline images too.<\/p>\n

some complains:<\/p>\n
