I've never used OpenID so it's a turnoff that I can't see more. Also not likely to read long web pages on my kindle.

I'd love to have a conversion service where I could paste a URL for a pdf, have it converted and emailed to my kindle. I'd pay for that.

You can actually sign up via your Gmail or Yahoo email address or OpenID. Does that help?

As for the PDF conversion service, that's an interesting one. I might have to do something there...

Thanks for the reply, jakewolf.

It would be nice to know more about how the website will be sent to my kindle before giving out my kindle email address.

That's a good question, pyroman. After you've added you Kindle email address, we'll give you a bookmarklet to use to select webpages to be sent wirelessly to your Kindle.

I've just added that note to the page where Hatchet requests your Kindle email address.
