Q. Just got a new kindle, and AP exams are soon. This kindle is light and portable compared to my crambooks. Is there a way to transfer onto kindle? Any suggestions would be useful
A. Hi Eduardo:
Looks like you've been cramming too much. Look at the screen... this is "Camcorders" not "PDAs & Handhelds" (where the Kindle/Nook types hang out) or "Books & Authors".
Are your cram books in electronic form? (e-book or PDF?)
If so, you can transfer them easily. But, if your Barron's etc are just in print form, you'd have to scan them digitally (which would be a pain).
hope this helps,

What is a good alternative to the Kindle?
Q. I heard the Kindle only accepts things brought via Amazon (something to do with file formats?). I was wondering if there is a good alternative, so that I would also be able to put on my readings for university, printing is just unnecessary.
By good I mean with the same technology as the Kindle (No back light/ 'e-ink'). I don't want an LED or whatever computer screens have. If I wanted that I would just read it on my home desktop.
A. Here's a list of alternative E Ink ereaders:

(The list includes various models of Cybook, Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and Sony ereaders.) Note that of all those, only the Kindles and Sony ereaders have the newer E Ink Pearl displays. With Kindle supporting library lending later this year, Kindle, with it's 50% better contrast Pearl display is tough to beat. The Sony's also have Pearl displays, are better with PDF document display than the Kindles, and have touch screens, but they're more expensive and do not have wireless except at the high-end PRS-950.
Regarding other sources for ebooks: The ereader's native store will be best integrated with each ebook, but there are multiple sources of ebooks for each ereader. Here is a list of sites and stores with free and for-purchase books:

(The list includes Patricia Clark Memorial Library, ManyBooks, Project Gutenberg, Smashwords, Feedbooks, Baen, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google ebookstore, and Sony Reader Store.)
As mentioned, the simplest book acquisition experience will be from the ereader's associated ebook store. However, Calibre is a nice transfer and translation application that you'll want to learn to use to aid in managing ebook collections for disparate sources:

Will some people ever achieve the attention they crave?
Q. These vile letters make
miscreant words but laughter
leaps from a kindled light, sorrow
swallows itself in a parched
and creased lip that lies skinned
in itâs flesh. Eager
hunters
shape meat
in a dingy,
fishing
for attentionâs gasp
and never
will
it come.
