Did you use the ZS3 to film this video? If so, how did you get it to zoom so quickly?

[kindlePW]

@Nextil81 nope... I borrowed a Sony HDCam from my school along with a tripod... :D

though I really want to upgrade my TZ3 to a ZS3 ... :)

Suppose I want to be switching from page 20 to 350, would it be much of a hassle?

[kindlePW]

@myfuckingcookies it shouldn't be... i believe you can click MENU and select GO TO PAGE x...

How did you put the PDF in your kindle? Did you pick them from your pc?

Thanks for the videos. They are what i was looking for.

@raws3000 you need a kindle 2 updated to the latest firmware(2.5.x)... then u can upload them using the USB cable from the PC... technically you can edit the kindle and download PDFs using the browser(default browser settings does not allow you to downoload PDFs), but i was happy enough with the usb option

[Nextil81]

@kindlePW You should, they're excellent for the price. Just get a 16 GB card to go with it and you get just over 2 hours of AVCHD video at the highest bitrate, and double that at the lowest bitrate, which still looks great. The only thing that sucks is the slow zoom, and the dodgy autofocus.

Also, I pre-ordered the Kindle 3 after watching this video. The Kindle looks like it handles PDFs brilliantly.

@kindlePW Thanks man, i m thinking to buy a Kindle, but i read rumors about Kindle 3 that it will be launch in august. I m gonna wait a bit...The kindle looks gr8.

Great videos! The PDF support is what I expected, and I definitely won't be buying an e-reader anytime soon. I'll wait about 5 years for better technology. Thanks for your elaborate look through several PDF's - a "boring" video entertainment-wise, but exactly what I wanted to see.
