Amazon Kindle Firmware Upgrade Boosts Battery Life & Provides Native PDF Reader

Amazon says…

Amazon Extends Battery Life of Newest Kindle by 85 Percent and Adds Native PDF Reader

Good news for Kindle owners. The battery life increase translates (so Amazon says) to up to a week of Kindle uptime even with its 3G radio turned on. This goes up to two weeks if you turn wireless service off.

Kindle users can email PDf files to their @kindle.com email address or use a USB connection to transfer PDF files.

I’m still not interested in buying a Kindle myself though. The combination of Kindle for iPhone and Kindle for PC (beta) satisfies my Kindle ebook reading needs just fine. But, if Amazon would produce a Kindle or Mac and Kindle for Android ebook reader, I would be very happy to try those out too.
