Thanks for the help Anemic.

I'm thinking of getting one too...
Do you have to modify your kindle so it can take torrented .pdf's and whatnot, or do you just drag/drop through the computer?

my nook reads pdf files natively

kindle will read pdf, mobi, and azw. if you have torrented any epub or such format, the free conversion program calibre will convert to mobi or w/e, though most all books coming out nowadays will have a mobi format available already.

I stand by the age-old argument of needing to hold a book in order to enjoy it. Like someone else said, I just enjoy the feel and smell. I also love the satisfaction of returning home from a semester at school and walking into my room that contains a bookshelf filled with all the books I've read. It's satisfying, at least for me.

I don't know, to each his own, but I may also be biased since I'm a die hard supporter of print circulation.
