@yaoi_mazter,

I’m not sure if this would work, but I think you can adjust the PDF font size before converting it into the Kindle format.

Yup, it can read mobi, prc and pdf formats…the new ones can also display HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP.

You just plug it in go to my computer and open it like you open any other flash drive. Then you can either drag or paste the e-books you want.

Word of caution some pdf file displays are really tiny that it would strain your eyes and I haven’t found a way of enlarging them without going through the hassle of pushing the navigation up and down every few paragraphs. Hope we can get around this soon or if there’s a way to do this, I’d appreciate a heads up.

You can only change the font size for LEGALLY downloaded e-books^_^

Hope this helps!

does it have a USB port? I’ve got loads of E-books so will it be possible to just put a USB on it and be able to read it there?
where can I buy it better.. CANADA or Philippines?
with a-not-so pricey-price… but I’ll use it in the philippines..

same worry as lifeinslippers, i’m worried about the 3G use on kindle. while surfing is rudimentary, but it’s good enough for me to check email & facebook. now, they have my credit card info on file. i’ve started using the 3G only these past few days. but sometimes i’m afraid, knowing the 3G involves international deals between amazon and smart (?), who knows they’ll charge me same rates as roaming.

I really want a KINDLE!!! I badly needed it. I want to buy here at pinas but dont know where to buy one. I dont want to buy it online. Can someone help me? maybe someone can tell me a store that is selling it other than info maxx.

If I bought at http://www.amazon.com can I still use it even it was not registered in U.S.?

I have watched a morning show (Unang hirit/ Umagang KAy Ganda not sure which one) discussing all ebook reader. I wasn’t able to get the contact number of the person or his store ad. maybe someone know him or have also watched the show. please i really need a help. =D

i loooove my kindle. aside from the obvious benefit of having hundreds of book in my bag at all times, other features include the text to speech function which allows me to “read” while driving. correct me if i’m wrong, but isn’t the use of 3g free of charge? i’m using my kindle in drafting this comment and since amazon doesn’t even have my credit card details…must be free! oh i’m also at the beach now. no glare on my kindle, unlike with my old ebook reader. happiness!

Maybe you’d be better of buying a new kindle 2, just add a few more thousand. Sure, it’s easy to download ebooks but a problem I’m having with .PDF ebooks that I download is that when converted to kindle format, it can get a bit unreadable. For best results you need to use Amazon whispernet. If you plan on reading ebooks with lots of text and detailed illustrations, get an iPad. Hahaha. Really.

got my kindle 2 for valentines. it’s great. i can download a book in 1 minute via 3G. it connects to all the networks, you can also manually select the carrier. although, the browser does not seem to work there’s a message, “due to local restrictions, web browsing is not available for all countries”

“pero without the experimental browser, will I still be able to access the Amazon store on my kindle?”

Yes, if you have the international edition you can buy books directly from your device and it will be delivered wirelessly. No monthly fees and delivery fees. Albeit the books are more expensive than the US counterpart. I just checked:

Dan Brown books:
Da Vinci Code
US Price: $7.59
International Price: not available

Angels & Demons
US: 7.99
Int’l: 9.99

Deception Point
US: 7.99
Int’l: 9.99

The Lost Symbol
US: 9.99
Int’l: not available

Stephanie Meyer:
Twilight
US: 6.59
Int’l: 8.59

New Moon
US: 7.91
Int’l: 9.91

Eclipse
US: 7.79
Int’l: 9.79

Breaking Dawn
US: 9.99
Int’l: 11.99

@iko
“i own the kindle 2 and until now i haven’t registered the kindle yet since i am outside the sprint service area.”

How could you not have registered the Kindle yet? You can do that at Amazon.com Manage Your Kindle. I didn’t register my new K2 via the device since I’m in the Philippines now, but I did through Amazon.com.

And without registering, you wouldn’t be able to download or buy books from Amazon’s Kindle store.

Wired says the international version won’t allow you to access the internet (just the web browser). Can anyone who ordered confirm this?
