New firmware (2.3) for Kindle
This morning I looked to my RSSs and found post from Scott Hanselman about new firmware for Kindle. Although Scott was applying it manually, I got it through network immediately. After about 3 minutes Kindle rebooted and was ready to work.
You can read about the new features on Amazon page, I was especially looking forward to build-in PDF reader. Right now I tested only two or three files, all displayed correctly. But you can’t change font size, so if the font is too small in PDF, you will read nothing. With new screen rotation it’s little bit better, but the page will not fit display completely, of course, so you’ll be hitting next page button more. 
The battery life I can judge now. But anything that improves the batter life, even 1%, is good.

Ja tak nadsen z PDF nejsem. Pokud je tam hodne textu, je prevod lepsi a lepe se to cte, muzu vyhledavat, menit pismo, …
Nicmene aspon si clovek muze prohlednout treba kod nebo nejak specificky rozlozeny text, kdyz potrebuje. Asi si tam vzdy dam PDFko i konverzi, pro maximalni komfort.

Máte pravdu.
Až po větším zkoumání jsem zjistil, že soubory pdf nejdou upravovat (zvětšit písmo), škoda

Tak ono je to takove “divne”. PDF je vlastne primarne urcene pro urceni, jak ma dokument *vypadat*, kdezto pro Kindle je vicemen dulezity jen text, pac “eye-friendly” zobrazeni dela on (a treba zalamovani radku je v tomto pripade irelevantni).
Ale je to dobry krok, mozna v dalsi verzi uz font, pokud bude nejaky rozumny, zvetsit pujde.
