More importantly, though - almost 1,000 of those pages are on PDF's, so either I could print that all out (I can print 800 pages free with my tuition, but its not enough and a total waste of paper) or I can email it to the kindle DX I just bought and read them on there, plus that way I have them all in one place for easy reference.
I will let you know what I think when it comes, but I am pretty sure its gonna be wonderful!  |

That's why I'm getting it and not just reading on an iPod or laptop. Utility.

I'm looking forward to your feedback.
