Do you own a Kindle?

No, I prefer to read my books in print, is easier on my eyes. And if I like to pass on the book I can just offer it to a friend or do some bookcrossing.
I do own a Kindle 2 and I love it impressively much. I like the text-to-speech function especially, as I can "read" books with both my eyes and hands free. It help me making many things efficient.

Personal Documents
Kindle makes it easy to take your personal documents beside you, eliminating the need to print. Each Kindle has a matchless and customizable e-mail address. You can set your unique email address on your Manage Your Kindle page. This allows you and your approved contacts to e-mail Word, PDF documents, and pictures wirelessly to your Kindle for a small per document fee--currently only 10c per document. Kindle supports wireless delivery of unprotected Microsoft Word, PDF, HTML, TXT, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI files.
You can email your PDFs wirelessly to your Kindle. Due to PDF's fixed layout format, some complex PDF files may not format correctly on your Kindle.
If you are not contained by a wireless area or would like to avoid the fee, you can transport attachments to "name"(a)free.kindle.com to be converted and e-mailed to your computer at the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account login. You can then verbs the document to your Kindle using your USB connection. For example, if your Kindle email address is Jay(a)Kindle.com, send your attachments to Jay(a)free.kindle.com.
