EVDO is great, but paying a 10-cent per-file fee to sync your own PDF and DOC files to it via email? Which are then converted to a proprietary format? No native PDF support? Gah!* *Kindle isn't so much a reader device as a portable DRM bookstore. At least you can slurp plaintext off of SD cards.
There's nothing wrong with all that, but I need something that can view what I already have, including PDF.
Who doesn't already have countless files of every imaginable type? For $400, format neutrality should be assumed. EVDO's no use to me if it's just linking into paid content and Wikipedia.
If nothing else, it will cut cheese.
(UPDATE: Looks like it will read plaintext, HTML and Images off SD card, but not RTF, DOC or PDF.)
