Q. Just bought a second Kindle for my wife. Not sure how to get the books that are already downloaded on my Kindle over to her new Kindle.
A. Are both Kindles registered to the same Amazon.com account?
If so, this is very easy. On the e-Ink Kindles, get to the Home screen, then look for the Archives section. Open that up. All the titles you ever purchased on that account will be listed. Simply click on it and it will ask if you if you want to download to that Kindle.
On the flip side, you can log into your Amazon.com account on your computer and choose Manage Kindles. There you will see a list of purchases, and a drop down menu where you can choose what Kindle to download the purchase to.
What is the diffference between the amazon Kindle 3G keypad and the amazon kindle keypad?
Q. I am planning to buy a kindle, and I am debating over these two, but I dont really understand it....
I dont really need to go online and I have okay eyesight. Im mostly going to be listening to audiobooks and reading real books on it.
I have never owned an ereader before and am very eager to get one.
could I please get some feedback from someone who really has these ereaders?
Thanks!
A. The Kindle product line now involves the following choices:
1. E Ink vs LCD display
Choose E Ink (Kindle, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard) if long-run reading is your priority; choose LCD (Kindle Fire) if apps/games/video/web-browsing is your priority. E Ink displays ebooks just like paper-based ebooks, using ambient light; LCD displays ebooks just like computer monitors, using back lighting. On the other hand, E Ink is only black-and-white and is too slow for video. LCD does great with those non-reading applications. Further, Kindle Fire has a sophisticated web browser, Silk, which leverages local and cloud storage and processing dynamically, thereby providing high-performance web browsing.
2. 5-way controller vs multi-touch vs keyboard
Choose 5-way to save money (base Kindle is only $79), multi-touch for easy-of-use, and keyboard for ease-of-typing.
3. WiFi vs WiFi+3G
Choose WiFi+3G if you wish to download ebooks or browse the web when away from a WiFi hotspot. An ereader with 3G support will be able to connect like a cell phone. Unlike a cell phone, however, there is no monthly fee for Kindle's 3G service. Note, though, that the web browser on Kindle isn't so great. Also, once an ebook is downloaded, neither WiFi nor 3G is needed to read it.
4. With Special Offers vs Without Special Offers
Kindle With Special Offers (WSO) Pros:
* $25 (WiFi) or $50 (3G) less expensive.
* May save more if special offers turn out to be useful to you.
* Ads do not show up in the middle of reading an ebook.
* I've heard only praise from those who buy Kindle WSO.
Kindle With Special Offers Cons:
* May just dislike ads in principle, even outside of reading experience.
What are the advantages of the Kindle over going to the Library?
Q. I really want a Kindle but the only thing holding my parent's back is that they think it is a waste of money to buy an expensive device, then have to also pay for the books too on top of that when you can just get free books from your local library? If you agree with my parent's, don't answer. I only want some good reasons to convince them. Thank you.
A. The Amazon Kindle store offers lots and lots of free books - several thousand, at last count. Most of these are classics, but there are some scifi/fantasy, thriller, romance, and nonfiction titles, too. New free titles appear constantly - just look at the Kindle bestseller list.
There are also TONS of amazing "indie" books out there, mostly priced less than $2.00. I've found some really great books for less than a buck that you would NEVER find in a library!
You can do some pretty basic web browsing (google, wikipedia, and the like) and there's no monthly charge - something you wouldn't get with, say, and iphone or a netbook.
It might be useful at school - say you need to read "Great Expectations" for a class. With your Kindle, you can highlight and "clip" passages, make your own annotations in the text, and go online to do research. Plus, the book itself is FREE in the Kindle store.
If you're really into reading (say, you read more than 15-20 books a year) the cost for the Kindle really starts to balance out, as the price for Kindle books is generally much less than the price for a paper book.
Save up your birthday money, do some jobs around the neighborhood, and save up - they're only $259 now!
