why Amazon doesn't want to change the kindle firmware to add epup to the format is bonkers -- there's absolutely loads of good epubs out there in the public domain too !!!

Prolly because Amazon won't make any money on it, that's why. It's their device, so they get to control it.

Amazon giveth, Amazon taketh away...

And it's another reason why I'm still into paper and what this says right below...

I can not imagine reading a book on PC, that must be terrible.
I love pages and that old books smell, the older the better.
I buy used books on purpose, cheap, uncensored texts.

If you travel a lot and been in immigration / passport control at airports or other places with long lines of people waiting for things having a kindle is really convenient to pass the time and ignore the usually inane complaints of people in those lines moaning about stuff they can do NOTHING about -- try arriving these days at LAX (Los Angeles International) when 3 or 4 international flights arrive at roughly the same time and there's only 2 or 3 passport control officers on duty -- and for such a technologically advanced country as the USA -- haven't they heard of e-gates at airports -- very few (if any) make on the day "ad hoc" international flights to the USA so the USA already should have data on around 99.5% of incoming passengers so e-gates shouldn't be a problem. !!!! Perfect place for reading a kindle !!!.

I used PDF-XChange Viewer until it was discontinued and now use PDF-Exchange Editor.

Just select free version on the installer screen.

I've been looking around for awhile for a good PDF editor.

I know the OP is asking for free, but I think this one might be one I purchase. The prices seem to be reasonable in comparison to others that I've looked at.

if I want something online that is an easy reader (and editor), is free, and doesnt require a sign up I use easy-edits.com

for more complex stuff I use Adobe but the downside is you need an account for that and its not free.

Pdf Gear 2.1.16 seems to do everything I need it to do. I am going to try out Sumatra PDF and then compare both of them.
