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… 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.

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.

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.

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… Continue
