Add Sticky NoteDirectly load & read PDFs
- I have an iPod touch and a Treo - given my experience with those, the Treo's real keyboard wins hands down. I haven't tried the Kindle's keyboard, though, which is likely not as easy to "thumb" with. - on 2009-11-23
- Well, I want a nook over the Kindle EXCEPT for the missing keyboard. Who wants to annotate without a keyboard? Also, no mention of text to speech. I'm guessing that means there isn't any.
For use in schools, I think the lack of a keyboard and MS word doc support is a problem, although being able to read a PDF potentially erases that problem as long as you have software to convert your docs to pdfs. - on 2009-10-21

Add Sticky Notefee for wirelessly emailing
- this is a little misleading - yes, there is a fee for wireless access to your document, but you can freely have it converted to kindle format and transfer it using the usb cable - on 2009-10-21
