Reading PDFs are a problem on a display as small as the Kindle as PDFs tend to have huge margins and don't reformat very well.
I use Abobe Acrobat to trim the margins to a minimum and then read them in landscape, half a page at a time, on a Sony PRS505.
I only use it for technical books which you can pick up for good prices as Oreilly often have 3 for 2 or 40% off offers, Manning are always going 40% off offers, and Apress do a book of the day for $10.
Saves a lot on bookshelf space and having to carry the book around on the train - loses out a bit on the flickable searching aspects.
"So I invested in the proper case with the built in light and it has been great"
Could you point me in the direction of this case please?
Theres now the basic £89 one or the Touch for £109 has any one used both, which is best?
Also wheres the best place to buy a Kindle? Is it better to buy direct from Amazon, or is it ok to use another retailer where I can get cash back?

If you're going to read anything other than "proper" ebooks on a kindle, it's best to convert them using [url= http://calibre-ebook.com/ ]Calibre[/url] ( http://calibre-ebook.com/ )
As for where to buy, just buy them on Amazon. I bought mine from Tesco and got about a quid in points but spent about a quid driving to and from the shop that had stock.
