Seen any other Kindles in your rounds?

Yes, I took mine to lunch with a friend to show her, and she had bought one after seeing the Oprah show! My doctor took mine when I saw him this week and paid it waaay more attention than he did to me! Luckily, I was just there for a checkup! It's almost as much fun in public as was my brand new '641/2 Mustang! Continue

Another SD Memory Question

I've been trying to move books I've read to SD Memory and have had no luck whatsoever. However, when I try to move new books that I don't plan on reading right away, I am able to do so. What gives? Ken Continue

I got it today

I received the Kindle today. They shipped it to the wrong address but I took a long lunch and went home to pick it up. For my trouble I got free shipping. I was so quick to plug it in, breaks are short at the shop. First after getting familiar with the controls (very intuitive) I set to the task of putting the user manuals I have in pdf to the kindle. I used Mobipocket Creator. While it did work, and it is free, the converted file was too small to read, thus far I can't find a zoom on the kindle… Continue

Return from Hospital

Thanks to everyone who posted good wishes to me bsed on my daughter's (Comrade Wolf) blog. It really cheered me up and helped me realize what a great community the Kindle Social Network Group is. The Kindle has been a GOD send to me. My illness is very bad, but Much of the pain and upset is eased by the joys that come from reading a good book and being associated with a wonderful community. Thank you all for being so kind to me. Konstantine Continue

Making Audio Books

I've been experimenting a bit with audio books. I found that if you drop an .MP3 file into the "Audible" subdirectory, the Kindle will treat it as an audio book. It actually scans through the whole subdirectory tree and adds each MP3 file as an individual "book" in the main screen. One problem is that MP3 files don't have chapters. Another, bigger problem is that it doesn't seem to be measuring time correctly when I concatenate MP3 files. The file length (in minutes) isn't right, the position… Continue

Kindle web browser

I keep trying to use the Kindle to check my e-mail and get current news headlines. I have found that my Yahoo mail accounts don't work too well (screen size etc.) but my google account shows up fine. Signing into google sems to take several tries - I think I have to pay more attention to what specific steps I take. Continue

Tuff-Luv Kindle Cover

I got the Tuff-Luv cover for the Kindle, purchased via Amazon. I've been using the original cover up until now, and I thought that hey, my Kindle is 6 months old, maybe I should get a new cover for it. The original cover is still quite functional, but beginning to wear around the edges. The Tuff-Luv cover is much softer than the Kindle co… Continue

Free Kindle Contest

Yesterday I logged in to to see what new is happening in the Kindle Network and I noticed my name on the main home page. It didnt register when I read the words so I read then again. "the first free kindle winner is Mare". I wrote to my buddy Mike and asked him to read it and see if he saw the same thing I saw. Yep. he saw it too. I actually am still in shock because I really don't ever win things, let alone a kindle. I am so thankful to www.booksummit.com and The Kindle Social Network for bein… Continue

Guide to Making Your Own Books

Hi everyone! I'm a new member to the community, and I also have a Kindle blog of my own. I wanted to say hi, and also to point out that I just wrote a Guide to Making Your Own Kindle Books using the freeware Mobipocket Creator software. It's a step by step guide of not only how to create the books, but also how to add cover art, a table of contents, and author and title information (with pictures!). You can buy Kindle books on how to do this, but… Continue

GUTENBERG PROJECT - Free books

The Gutenberg project (http://www.gutenberg.org ) has a ery large selection of free e-books and free text files. I have gotten many e-books for my Kindle from them by downloading my selection to my laptop and then mailing it as an attachment to my kindle account (my_id@kindle.com). A few minutes later it is transfered automatically to my Kindle (there may be a 10 cent charge). Full instructions are in the kindle users guide and at the on-help section of the official Kindle site. I buy books fro… Continue

Big Switch

I read the book (Kindle version) "The Big Switch" by N. Carr. Overall, the book was interesting. It compares the 1880 - 1940 introduction of electricity to the 1980 - 2040 introduction of computers and information technology. The sections of the book that dealt with electricity and with information technology uptil present day (2008) were very insightful and interesting. The last part of the book, which dealt with the future was not very interesting or convincing. Continue

Video Review as compared to a normal online review

I was looking at Brandon Carroll's video review (link is on the main page) and some thing struck me - a video review just adds a lot of dimensions - * a better idea of who the reviewer is. * actually seeing the product, and seeing the various things talked about. and a lot of other things. its really late here in London so i'm going to go back to sleep - however, I really can't stop thinking that Amazon should let users add a ton of video reviews. especially frank non-biased ones by real kindle… Continue

Two More Great Sources

I found two more sources of e-books today that I wanted to share. The first is Samhain Publishing, the other is My Bookstore and More, Ltd. Books sell from $2.50 up to $6.50, depending on word count. All genres are available, but these aren't bestsellers folks. This is more a forum for the new/undiscovered writer to get some visibility. Of course, you can't download direct to your Kindl… Continue

Tor eBooks - Free

Everyone has been talking about the Tor free ebooks offer. I found out about it a while ago when it was still a newsletter thing. I think it's great that they put them all up there at once and are letting people download what they want. I also discovered something really cool last night, while I was surfing on my Kindle...There is a post about the free Tor books in the Kindle Daily Post section. Now I don't have to fuss with getting them emailed and moved over to my Kindle, I just went through… Continue
