soapalchemist said:Too much so PC, and government consulation papers, and govt. guidance and proposals and latest legal cases; which he carries around in a rucksack that I can hardly lift. So I thought if there was a way to transfer it all onto a cute little kindle, it would save a lot of paper and save him carrying all this stuff around. Some of it can be downloaded in word, other would be pdf.

I thought I'ld weaned myself off it - really, I don't even upgrade the mobile when it's free any more, unless there's a good reason. But now I feel that old familiar addiction.....it's so small.....it's so cute.......it could change my life for the better and fulfill all my dreams overnight.
I've read a load of reviews on Amazon, and of course gotten sidetracked by the ipad - or is that pod, and various other similar devices (don't all attack me at once Apple followers).
What I would like to know is can you read pdf documents reasonably easily on this, and can they be sent by email to this? Can you access email on it? And can you download from the internet and 'drag and drop' from the computer word docs and pdf docs; I'm thinking of either getting one for myself, of buying one for HWMOM's birthday in a couple of months. He is much more technologically ignorant than me (French Blade might not think that is possible, but it really is :lol: ). So many reviews talk about how you can get it to do stuff, if you're some sort of computer boffin; basically I know how to email and drag and drop.
