I got a new Kindle 4 for Christmas.
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 - A simple tool to save web pages for reading later.
- delivereads.com - I heard they sent out pretty good stories.
- calibre - Pretty good to organize your ebooks on your computer.
- kcollect - Did not test it yet, but I hope it works. Managing collections right on the kindle is a pain in the ass.
