If you are into facebook, twitter, or rss feeds, give flipboard a try. It's
free so the only investment is the time it takes to install and examine it.

I found Kindle really poor for PDFs as well, even if you don't mind
monochrome. The experience on my iPad is so much better. And I now have

I think there are only two formats. The kindle format and epub for everyone
else. There is a kindle app that you can download for the iPad. I believe
it is free.

If you are set on a Kindle, you can convert epub to any format with the
previously mentioned Calibre software. Calibre is free and an excellent
piece of software.
Also, the kindle does not have a micro sd s

I have a Kindle DX - I sue it mostly for school. If you think you are going

The only problem I have with the kindle and pdf handling is the
inability to zoom.
