you can read pdf's on kindles, why is an ipad better for reading pdf's then?
slight diff in price between a kindle and an ipad if all the user wants to do is read books / docs.
I find mine invaluable particularly to read pdf files. If you go to '4shared.com' and search on any term to do with "Trading" you will be amazed at the free ebooks in pdf that can be downloaded. Even expensive titles that are recommended reading are available. Eventually you will have to register and the time limit for waiting for a download signal increases the more you download but I recommend a visit.

I have a kindle and it is great for reading ebooks. You may find some ebooks have not been properly adapted for the device, in particular cheaper or free versions. Read the reviews of specific books in the Amazon kindle section to find out. To find trading books go to the kindle section first and then perform your subject/title/author search which will then limit it to kindle editions.
Pdf files may or may not be easy to read . It depends upon their format. The kindle has a zoom option together with a screen scrolling option, which works fine when you get used to it.
Bear in mind that the kindle is just black and white, so my overall verdict is that it is superb for fictional works because of its similarity to the paper page, but for text books an ipad or notepad might be better.
Incidentally you can try out kindle books for free before deciding on whether to buy the device. There are kindle apps that can be downloaded from amazon free for the pc or mac and you could download some free ebooks. These will automatically appear on your kindle device if you purchase one later.

In short - it's not worth it.
I'd echo earlier comments on this, I bought a kindle for getting through a list of trading books - while it's great for reading fictional books, for PDFs (even converted pdfs) the trade-off in usability (having to scroll around with the trackpad and zooming in or out) makes it cumbersome to read.
It is possible, but its just not as enjoyable.
Verdict - don't get the kindle for reading trading books.

try these two:
Traders library
Library.nu
Then use a program to put them in Kindle format AZW. Check this;

Check the current T&C but if you buy a Kindle book you can view it on 6 devices (eg Kindle, PC, phone...) so buying the kindle version doesn't pre-empt you from reading it on a PC. For reading text, the kindle screen is far superior to any LCD screen. Comparison of Kindle, iPad and printed media is here:
