Kindle for Spec Sheets

As Wendy and I purge our books we are looking for ways to keep our

bookshelves relatively clean in the future. I decided to try out a

kindle as the new models are particularly inexpensive and have

excellent PDF file support. Most of the documents I read are spec

sheets for electrical components, magazines, or ebooks which kind of

suck to read while sitting at a desk. I'm impressed with the Kindle's

screen quality, battery life, weight and thickness. I'm totally

disappointed with the user interface. The buttons are in the wrong

place, the screen requires manual toggling from portrait to landscape,

and the movement keys are way too small. Now that I've loaded up 100

documents on the kindle I'm looking forward to going on a road trip

and seeing how much I actually read on it.
