3 Questions to kindle 2 or DX owners?
Im thinking purchase a Kindle 2 or a Kindle DX but i have some doubt about:
1- Can we use the dictictionary in the read of .mobi books? Or we can use ir just in the Kindle format? 2- Can we export completly the notes and hilights, not only the first line (I have these problem with prs-700)? 3- In the mobi format is possible full justify the text? Best regards, PS:Sorry the bad english. its not my native language. |

1) Yes.
2) I've never annotated, but highlights are stored in a myclippings.txt file and are complete (though unformatted, since it's text, and I believe there's a limit to the size of the clippings) 3) Yes. More importantly, the Kindle defaults to justified text, and unless the book is designed with the "text-align:left" style tag, then they will always be justified. |

2. All of the highlighted text is kept in one txt file. I am not sure about the notes though. 3. Yes, the mobi format itself allows full justification (through tags). Plus Kindle 2 and Kindle DX fully justify text by default unless there is a tag to the contrary. |

Anything that the Kindle can read (txt, mobi, etc.) can be used with Text-2-Speech feature. One exception: some Amazon files have a tag in them that disallows the T2S.

Can Kindle 2 read pdf? I don't think so.
Its support in DX is minimal. It treats it almost like any other picture. |

The Kindle can't read pdfs, but unprotected pdfs can usually be converted to be read on Kindles and Amazon will do that for a tiny fee.

I had a DX for a week, and while PDF support is minimal, it's not quite as bad as plain pictures. If it's a text PDF (as opposed to a graphics-oriented one like sheet music), you can search for words. But you can't highlight words or make annotations.
