What's the greyscale like with pictures on the DX Adam?

Try this Judge. Note this is a scan of the unit not a photo hence the slight blur - I didn't preview it first - and also that the hyperlinks can't be clicked on. In a manual like this where color coded elements are talked about a lot, I'd expect to have the game fired up in front of me whilst I navagate around. Either that or look at it on an iPad - but that's something I don't envisage doing in the foreseeable future (ie: couple of years as new technology without doubt comes about

You can also use Calibre to move PDF's from your computer to your Kindle.

I presume this is done via Copy and Paste instead of via "iTunes" or any other 3rd party thing.

You actually have to go to the US site amazon.com and click "Live outside the US?". That's how they coordinate the various country set-ups.

Once bought, the thing is then already registered to you, given a temporary name like "Judge's Kindle" and able to be ordered on (via your PC) whilst its still with the courier on its way to your door!

There's country-specific power adaptors you can then order too if you don't want to always power-up via USB. It's worth it.

Hey I was sceptical about the whole thing but its proven an easy/profitable investment (I've more than made the money back on redundant printing and delivery fees already) - I'll have no qualms updating it with the latest model every couple of years if new tech brings even more improvements. They got me

No, it's pretty much a point and click system to do it. Do a google search for Calibre and check it out. I believe it works with all e-readers.
