Hello Rob, You might want to try out Atmels "AtmelStudio" IDE. It is based on MS Visual Studio, has a sensible debugger, and is a free (free means: you trade in some personal data) download. It covers most, if not all Atmel ARM products as well as the 8/32 bit Atmel cores, and the Arduino too. Use it to code in C/C++. Compiling native code, it comes without all the .NET runtime overhead. See "http://www.atmel.com/technologies/cpu\_core/arm.aspx".

You can use your Kindle to read PDFs. Just install the free Calibre eBook manager ( http://calibre-ebook.com/ ), connect your Kindle via USB and copy your PDF files to your Kindle. Be warnend however, that many PDFs may not look good, because formatting is done for classic paper formats, like A4 or Letter. Try landscape display on Kindle. That's the way I do it, doesn't give me entire satisfaction, but is better than nothing at all. Calibre also converts common document formats, like Word, HTML, ePub, and others to mobi-ebooks for Kindle. And it keeps a backup copy of your library. Great open source software, under constant development. Marcel.
