Kindle Envy
So in the 30 minutes in between reading Bennett’s post and browsing available Kindle books, newspapers, magazines and blogs I succumbed to my tendency to impulse buy. In my defense, I’ve been thinking about this purchase for a while.
Plus who knows how long it would have taken Bennett to get through all the dead-tree books he has piled up and to post an actual review of the Kindle. Meanwhile I am drooling over this recent email:
Delivery estimate: April 15, 2009
1 "Kindle 2: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device (Latest Generation)"
As an aviation lawyer, you might be interested to know that you can download current A/FDs and full (searchable!) approach plate volumes to the Kindle DX from www.AirBrief.com. Plus the FAA's Airplane Flying Handbook and Instrument Flying Handbook just to round out the field.

And of even more interest to the legally-inclined, we now have a fully Kindle-ized version of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) online for free download at: www.AirBrief.com/downloads.htm
It works great on both the original Kindle as well as the Kindle DX.
