How to Read a PDF With Kindle
When Amazon released the first Kindle it became a sensation and sold well. Despite its popularity, however, there were a few drawbacks. One of the most common complaints was that the Kindle couldn't natively read PDF files. Amazon rectified that with the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX. Even owners of the first Kindle have an option for reading PDF files, so if you have amassed a collection of PDF ebooks, do not worry. With a little know-how, you can read those files on your Kindle.
