Kindle Update Brings PDF Support

Amazon has brought IT support and a significant increase in battery life to the Kindle, courtesy of a major IT product update. In the past, anybody hoping to read PDFs on the eBook reader needed to email them to a Kindle email address that's supplied when you register the device.
The IT company then converted them into its proprietary AZW format, with documents either emailed back to you and loaded manually using a USB cable, or sent on the internet to the Kindle at a cost of 99 cents per megabyte. However, Amazon has now removed the need to go through this clumsy procedure by bringing native support for PDF documents to the Kindle 2, including international models, and the Kindle DX which features a 9.7in screen.
