9.99
The 9.99 a month comes from this site...

I guess using this software allows one to access the plate they want much easier. |

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the 505. I think it will be too small for my aging eyes in bumpy weather. The 707 appears to use the same 6" 8 gray shade 140dpi display, so my take is that for the moment the iRex ($599 on Amazon) is currently the best compromise for my personal needs to clearly view the plates.

No, EFlyBook wants to charge you more for the device and then charge you again for subscriptions.
I believe the device comes pre-installed with an OS including a .PDF viewer, but there is also talk that you can load Linux and a better reader. I will probably research a bit more before I buy. |

So the Kindle 2 was announced earlier this week. Now with 16-level shades of gray. I think someone should order one, load some plates and give us a PIREP. Do we have any volunteers?
Seriously, I wonder is the screen is just too small to be of much use. And is 1.4GB of user available memory adequate? Hmmmmmm.

Better take a deep breath - from the Kindle 2 User's Guide:
Quote:
Note: PDF conversion is currently an experimental feature on Kindle. Due to PDF's fixed layout
format, some complex PDF files might not format correctly on your Kindle.
|
In other words, it doesn't have a native PDF viewer but rather attempts to convert it to something else which may or may not hose up the depictions.
And, in a bit of irony, even though the Kindle can connect to the internet you might not be able to read the user's guide, which is in .PDF format....

I am reading pg 83 right now... well that just stinks!
Without full native PDF support I don't think I'd touch the thing, not even with someone else's wallet.  |
