Kindle 3

I wanted to report on my kindle 3 after a month of casual use

The Kindle is fun to use and I’ve gotten a lot of great, free classic books, using

gutenberg.org and also Google Books, with the downloading software available

from calibre-ebook.com.

One “sleeper feature” I’ve taken to using on the Kindle is

 sending myself PDF copies of tax articles that I find on SSRN – – often through

taxprof.typepad.com – – Professor Paul Caron’s super-useful tax website.  I

download the PDFs of the articles and then forward them to my

personal “free.kindle.com” address on my Kindle.  Reading the PDF

articles on the Kindle is much easier than doing so on the computer

screen, and I don’t have to worry about battery life while traveling.  For

example, I read a bunch of PDF articles on the Kindle last week, on a

plane from Albuquerque to Baltimore, and it worked great.

With respect to copies of PDF law articles, I find  it easier to

adjust the Kindle to read in landscape mode.   The columnar width

is much better for reading than the standard portrait orientation
