$350+ is $200 too much. Call me when Amazon wakes up from the dream.

I won't receive my Kindle until later today but from my reading of the user guide it seems that your statement that you have to pay to have a document converted to Kindle format is not entirely correct. The user guide reads "You can have the converted files sent wirelessly to your Kindle for a small fee or to the e-mail address associated with your Amazon account for free." Once you receive the converted file you can then download it to the Kindle from your computer.
