I'm not sure you really want to read academic papers (PDF) on the Kindle. Opening a 9 MB scientific american took about 60 seconds. Page turn ~10-20 seconds. Close, reopen, again ~ 60 seconds. Other PDFs open faster but still took a long time. I wonder if this is due to the PDF structure of scientific american PDF.
