Why should I go for the Kindle Paperwhite when I can read e-books and do more on any other tablet?
You will know why the second you hold this device in your hand.It's light, it can fit into your pocket so you can read any time you want, take it out of your pocket and click a button, that's how easy it works.Its dictionary is incredibly easy to use, so when you're learning a language, looking up new words will be so easy that it won't influence your mood. Trust me, this makes a huge difference.It won't hurt your eyes.No reflection in the sun, so no problem reading outdoor.Charge once and you can read for a month, it's like heaven compared to iPad.Easy to organize notes.I began to use kindle half a year ago, and now eight of my friends have their own kindles, so you know how attractive it can be. And me and my friends do not major in literature or something like that, our major is aero engine.The only thing you can do with it is to read. When you have an iPad in your hand, it's likely that you will be playing games or watching videos before you realize.If you love reading, kindle is your best choice (except for paper books of course).Ps this is my favorite photo of my Kindle :)

Should I buy a Kindle to read PDF documents and not for ebooks? Is there any alternative within that cost (INR 6k)?
Why not!I have hardly bought any books from Amazon. Most of the times, I read PDFs on my Kindle Paperwhite and it works just like any other e-book.Although there are issues with some of the files but 99 percent of the PDF files get easily converted to mobi format and you can then change the font, font size, you can highlight, take notes, and even use the dictionary feature without any problem.You can download Calibre on your PC to convert any type of file to mobi and then transfer it to your Kindle. You can use online converters as well.OrrrrrYou can do it the easy way. Figure out your Kindle email address from your Amazon account. Send the pdf that you want to that email ID from your regular Gmail etc. With 'Convert' as the subject. Amazon will automatically convert the file and you'll have no problem reading it with ease on your Kindle.So yeah, for 6k (which drops down to 5k during the discount period) I'd say Kindle is the best e-reader available in the market.For some PDFs that do not get converted automatically through the email system, I use Calibre/any other converter and send it to my Kindle.Happy reading ! :)
How can I download a free PDF of any book?
I will not discuss any website here. Just a Google hack, if you will. It is free and easy.Type this in Google search bar: ( insert the name of desired book between quotation marks. )intitle:index.of pdf “Book title”First few results will give you direct access to database directory where you will get books for free and you need to click only once to download them.For example I want to download a book "One hundred years of Solitude. I type:intitle:index.of pdf One hundred years of solitudeYou can also download books for a general topic.e.g. For Quantum Mechanics, type in Google search bar:intitle:index.of pdf Quantum MechanicsThis method is very versatile and can be used to download songs also (actually any file in particular). You just have to replace PDF with mp3 and book-name by song name in the command.It really is a powerful method. It uses Google Command Language(Google has its own language for Instructions). I hope it helps.Other even more potent method is an obscure search engine.Library GenesisYou can get really unknown books in formats such as pdf, mobi, epub. It takes some time to get used to how the library is used. Click on the title/name of the book, not on mirrors etc. and then click on Get.
