...85% and not not 8.5%?
An engineer should get fired for taking so long to implement the update.

We're not quite sure what sort of black magic it's worked to make it happen, but it looks like Amazon is really taking the art of firmware updates to a new level with the latest upgrade for the Kindle. Not only does it finally add native PDF support (which would have gotten folks rightly excited on its own), but it promises to boost battery life by a full 85 percent.

They have an agreement with some mobile carrier, the use is free to the customer, though it's probably included somewhere in the price of the device and the book purchases.

Kindle is offered in Canada as of last week. Reason number one is still reason enough for me not to buy it though.

I think the biggest problem is being able to keep your books over long periods of time. Some one needs to come up with a Hack to make every book compatable with every machine. then they would sell the Hell out of those E Books. I mean which one do you buy. Sony is different, Google is coming out with a format. Kindle has a format. then there is Adobe PDF and a myriad of others that I can't call out all at once. They need to get together like they did with the CD at the High Sierra Summit and deside on a common format. Its books for God's Sake. Just let the publisher sell all there wares.
