Kindle 2 adds PDF support, large battery life improvement
Amazon has announced that the Kindle 2 has now been given native PDF support, removing the annoying conversion process formerly necessary to convert PDFs to Kindle formats for playback.
The firmware update will be available “soon” and will install wirelessly when you connect to the Internet from your device. Users can email PDFs to their Kindle address or manually load them via USB transfer.
Just as importantly, Amazon says the firmware update will significantly update the Kindle 2’s battery life by up to 85 percent when connected to wireless. Previously, users had about 4 days of battery life with wireless enabled. That has been bumped up to a week.
The original Kindle should also be getting the PDF support.
