My mom and I were going to get Kindles for x-mas but I had a few questions. I am big into pirating (sorry if aren't supposed to talk about other illegal activities, a mod can edit that part out) and I want to know if I could download ebooks for it? I know it supports PDF files but the actual ebooks are in the AZW format. Would regular PDF files be displayed the same way as AZW? I want a Kindle but not if I have to buy every single book thanks.
Dunno much about files and format, but know my niece has a kindle and doesn't buy any books. So, there is a way! Guess you ought to Google it and find out how she does! I don't trust the pirate on my PC! Might hack in like she does to her Dad's accts.
I have more pdf than any other types of files in mine too haha Mine is kindle keyboard so I am not sure if the newer ones will read things differently. pdf will display like the pages on the pdf, the text would be pretty small. I usually reorient my kindle to the side so i only scroll up and down when I read pdfs. (you can scroll side to side and up and down if you want but that is too much of a pain to me) txt files works pretty good on it actually so if you no need images it might actually be easier than pdf files.
sweet thanks for the info. I frequent a lot of sites so it shouldn't be a problem I just never looked before lol. We are thinking about getting this one.

Ipad is a back lite lcd screen that is horrible for long bouts of reading the kindle is some crazy e-ink shit that is is just like reading a real book but even better!
How long until the ipad 3 comes out? Apple comes out with a new version every couple of months so by your logic it is just as much of a waste lol.
[quote name='"mrgoodsmoke"']Just got kindle fire. To anyone who's considering it, I'd say scoop one up it's the shit![/quote] Yes definitely. And I've had a kindle since the first one came out. This ones great. And to the guy who said get an iPad. If I stare at mine for more than an hour I need a fucking bottle of advil. Kindle has such a nice, easy on the eyes screen
Yeah that lcd screen will kill your eyes lol. The kindle has that awesome looking screen! It looks like it's not even on!
