I like to read, I like to read often and I like to read a lot. That's why I hope this Kindle perfectly fits my needs. Another bonus point will be that it makes my printer mostly useless, as I can carry around my exercises in just one device (including the whole scripts and slides for the lectures). For easy and fast sending of documents right down to my kindle I use my @kindle-address with this simple script: Just list your files and they get send: kindle docs/uni/afi_skript.pdf Pass `-c` to let Amazon convert them first. Some more links: * [instapaper.com](https://www.instapaper.com/) - A simple tool to save web pages for reading later. * [delivereads.com](http://delivereads.com/) - I heard they sent out pretty good stories. * [calibre](http://calibre-ebook.com/) - Pretty good to organize your ebooks on your computer. * [kcollect](http://code.google.com/p/kcollect/) - Did not test it yet, but I hope it works. Managing collections right on the kindle is a pain in the ass.
