Has anyone used a Kindle for academic journal articles?
Given the price of ink cartridges, and given that I have a neverending reading list of PDFs to finish, I think the $139 Kindle 3 will more than pay for itself over time.
But how easy is it to read on the 6 inch screen? The DX model is not as nicely priced. And do I need to move the PDFs from my computer onto the Kindle, or can I access JSTOR/other databases and Blackboard from the Kindle itself?
Any other comments related to Kindle for academic use?
