Amazon Kindle Does E-Mail, RSS, Calendaring

Don't tell Amazon, but its new Kindle e-book reader does e-mail, RSS feeds and calendaring. I've discovered that the applications Google designed for cell phones -- the mobile versions of Gmail, Reader and Calendar -- actually work on the Kindle. They're clunky, funky and slow. But if your laptop dies during a business trip -- or if the Kindle is the only device you happen to be carrying, it's great to be able to do this stuff. HERE'S HOW TO E-MAIL, RSS FEEDS AND CALENDARING ON A KINDLE.

Is kindle compatible with PDF format?

Actually, you can convert PDF with the free software mobipocket creator without much difficulty at all. PDF ebooks with chapters and links convert with all those niceties intact. Converting medical journal articles doesn't work as well, I'll admit.
