A colleague here found a good use for it (no jokes here please ;) ). He is a researcher that reads many research papers and it gets expensive. Apparently its cheaper on Kindle and he can bookmark and cross reference stuff. Plus he has found stuff thats hard to get otherwise. It has made a big difference for him. He does not care for books on it though. > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and > follow the directions. > -- Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric.
