Q.
A. Hi Bob, Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet do not support OpenOffice but have QuickOffice app available to purchase. Nook Tablet is much better without a doubt, it's a class above Kindle Fire. Amazon's own web site has hundreds (more than 1400 by now) of reviews of Kindle Fire's new owners that gave it 1 or 2 star reviews because of choppy/laggy experience they got from this underpowered device. All pro reviewers on the web clearly voiced that Nook Tablet is a much better device with superior performance compared to Kindle Fire. Nook Tablet has been getting rave reviews and it is the best device in it's class. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life, the best non-glare laminated screen, double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies, microSD slot and a microphone for Skype (not on kindle), physical volume controls on the side (not on Kindle), very smooth video playback with excellent screen, and very fast apps load.
How far Kindle DX support PDFs?
Q. I am with the plans to buy a Kindle DX. I will be using it mostly for reading pdfs with the fonts not supported by Kindle DX (Tamil). I like to know the support and limitations it has to read such kind of pdfs.
I know that 6 inches kindle are not good for pdf reading and hence going for Kindle DX.
Suggestions for any other ereaders are also welcome
A. Hi,
Kindle's are terrible for reading PDFs. I know, I have one. The problem is that they are not automatically resized -- you must use a program to change them. Amazon says Kindle "supports" PDFs and that's true, but to read them you must zoom into the PDF like zooming into a picture. It is virtually impossible to read a file this way, so you really have to convert if first.

The problem is that when you convert the file, if the conversion program doesn't understand any characters in the text then it will render them poorly. If you're translating Tamil that could be a serious problem.
Here's an idea: why not download some free conversion software first, then try and convert a few Tamil files. If it works then great, get a Kindle. Otherwise go with a Sony Reader or Nook.

What format does kindle support?
Q. Pdf txt etc.
A. These are all the formats that a Kindle can support:
Kindle Format 8 (AZW3), Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively; HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP through conversion
For other formats you can easily convert them to Kindle readable formats.
I would suggest you to read these comments from an actual user of Kindle, would definitely be helpful:
