It's been a while since I posted anything here. Not much changed, I have been reading on my DX for a couple years now. I use a program on the mac to make Kindle books out of my documents and I buy lots of books from Amazon.
Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) is a free program for creating kindle, iPad (epub) documents and lots of different formats. I've gotten pretty good at creating tables of content and having linked content in my "books". I scanned lots of little books I like to keep for reference and ran OCR on them and put them through Calibre. I'm ignoring the copyright violation question because these are books I own and have in my house. This way I can carry them in a more convenient format.
I also was given a link to Pixel of Ink (http://www.PixelofInk.com) they have lots of free kindle books every day.
The best/worst thing to happen to my Kindle reading - someone let me play with her Kindle Fire for a little while. I bought one a few days later. I love the size and readability of the Kindle DX. But the Fire is pretty cool. Reading on it in daylight isn't too bad, and it covers most of my needs for a laptop. It's like a giant android phone. Sometimes it sucks because I expect to have internet all the time, lol, but the wifi is pretty good. I'll try and post something about my Fire and what I like/don't like about it soon.
