Q. does anyone know if you can share books bought through kindle between 2 ipads - different users. i know that if i were to sync the 2nd ipad to my computer it would wipe the existing memory and only add my content. i'm wondering if anyone knows an easier way - perhaps to save the file and transfer on a memory stick to the 2nd user's computer and then sync to their ipad?
A. Kindle books are registered to your Amazon account, not your iTunes or iPad. That being said, there is still a way to share books. You do this through a method Amazon calls lending. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the Amazon website. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200549320
The person you lend the book to will have 14 days to read it, then it will return to your personal library. Hope this helps!
P.S.: The fact that you're using an iPad shouldn't matter, any device with the Kindle app should be able to read loaned books.
Can you import nook book to kindle?
Q. I purchased a nook and I purchased two books on it, but I think I'm about to take it back and get a Kindle instead. Is there any way I can take the books I've already purchased on the nook and put them on the Kindle? Thanks.
A. Hi, TJ, Nook (as well as majority of ereaders market but Kindle) support ePub format and that's why Nook can work with public library ebooks while Kindle cannot. Kindle locks you into Amazon's propriatory AZW format which only Kindle understands because they want you to only be able to buy bookd from Amazon.
Nook from Barnes & Noble is the best combination of price and features of the eReaders market. When choosing an eReader, you need to consider not only the physical properties of the device, but also compare eBook stores behind it. Sony has never been a contender for any comparison by anyone as they only have like 5 books in their Ebook store and their devices are way overpriced for what they offer. Borders is behind Kobo/Cruz devices in US and as you might of heard, Borders is on a brink of bankruptcy. Kindle and Nook are the only devices to be considered as their eBook stores have over a million of free public ebooks as well as over a million of ebooks that you need to pay for available.
Having that out of the way, you should then decide which screen you want: e-Ink or LCD. It depends on what you're reading. If just black & white novels then the better one would be Kindle or e-Ink Nook from Barnes & Noble. If you read electronic magazines or college text books with a lot of color graphs and charts or childrenâs' books with a lot of pictures then the better would be Nook Color LCD from Barnes & Noble. Then, you should understand the limitations of e-Ink eReaders - they are limited to be black & white for now they "blink" at each ebookâs page turn, they're not too good for web browsing, they need external light source for reading when dark, and they cannot handle videos.
Whichever device you choose, here's the advantages of the Nookâs (both e-Ink black & white and Nook Color) over Kindle:
- Any Barnes & Noble store provides free Wi-Fi to Nook's
- Nook allows to lend Nook books for two weeks to friends and family or share with your other devices that run B&N app (PC, MAC, Android phones, Apple iPhone, iPod and iPad, etc.) Barnes & Noble allows (when you walk in with the Nook to B&N store) to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. With Nook, while in BN store you get exclusive articles from top authors, and great offers including cafe treats and unique deals.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for library ebooks.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for renting text-ebooks.
Nook Color is worth mentioning separately as this is a hybrid Android eReader/tablet device, something between Kindle and iPad. Even though Nook Color has LCD touchscreen, it's a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and produces less glare all of which are dooming reading on iPad. Also, the screen is amazing and readable/viewable at wide angles.
Overall, Nook Color is more than e-Reader as you can also watch video and use Android applications on it. It's a hybrid device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn't have a camera. If all you want is to read novels, the original e-Ink Nook might be better for you. If you want something more from your device (color graphs and charts of college text books, childrens books, photos and videos, web sites in full color) at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.
Nook Color has several apps that already come with the device (Pandora Internet radio, QuickOffice, etc.) Also, Barnes & Noble recently released Nook SDK and Nook Developer platform that will allow most of the existing 100,000 Android apps be ported to it. Also, you can use the Social Settings screen to link your NOOK Color to your Facebook account and your Twitter account. You can also import all your contacts from your Google Gmail account. Once you have linked to Facebook and Twitter and set up email contacts, you can lend and borrow books, recommend books, and share favorite quotes with your friends.
what's kindle books/?
Q. does anyone know what a kindle book is?
thanks bruv.x
yo i'm kinda thick so can u make sure the words r pg rated? thanks
A. The Kindle is an e-reader device sold by Amazon.com. A Kindle book is an electronic version of a publication that can be purchased and uploaded to the Kindle device. It is pretty cool. You can purchase the Kindle from Amazon and I think it is now also available at Best Buy. You can shop for books on the website or through the Kindle and the purchase is wirelessly uploaded to the reader.
