Where Do I Get Books From?

UPDATED: NOV. 2011
Okay. You got the Kindle. You got it hooked up and everything is working just peachy keen.So how do you get the reading stuff and the games and the audio and all the other phantasmagorical stuff that's available?

Look no further. Check this out. I told you everything was on this site.

Keyword Search
Keyword Search boxes can be found at the top of most pages of our bookstore. Enter one or more keywords using any combination of the title or author's name. If you use more than one keyword, the search engine will restrict the results to products that match all the keywords you enter.

The keyword search also allows you to search for phrases found within the text of books participating in our Search Inside the Book program. Simply enter the phrase in quotes in the search box. On the search results page, you'll see excerpts from the books that contain that phrase. Clicking the page number will allow you to view the page on which the phrase appears.

Tips for Keeping Your Kindle in a Good Mood

Right out of the gate, I found the below instructions my main concern. Hope you find them helpfull.

Screen Flash:
The flash you see when you turn the page is a normal part of the display refresh process. Kindle (1st Generation) uses an electronic ink display that has a slightly longer refresh time than back-lit displays but uses less battery power.

Shadows:
From time to time, you may see slight shadows on the screen from an image on a previous page. This is due to the display characteristics and not a malfunction.

Font Size and Clarity:
Font sizes can be adjusted while you are reading using the "text" key in the lower-right-hand corner of the keyboard. Please see Changing Text Size for more information. The font size of menus and Kindle screens, such as the Home screen or the Kindle Store, is fixed and cannot be adjusted.

Jumping Pages in Kindle:
Location numbers and a progress bar appear at the bottom of each page when you are inside a book. Locations are the digital answer to page numbers. Kindle (1st Generation) allows you to jump directly to a location in a book by typing in the desired location number using the key pad. This is a useful way of advancing in a book without using the Next Page button or Menu navigation options. If you accidentally press a number key while reading a book, you will jump to that location in the book. To return to where you were reading, simply press the Back button.

Back vs. Prev. Page: When you are reading books, periodicals and personal documents, the Next Page and Prev Page buttons take you forward and backward within the content. The Back button is like the back button on your web browser and allows you to retrace your steps on Kindle (1st Generation). For example, you can follow a link in a book and then use the Back button to return to your place. Or, you can start in the Front Page section of a newspaper, follow a link to an article, read that article and hit the Back button to go back to the Front Page.

Kindle for the Web

Just in case you didn't know, Amazon unveiled September 2010, a program that allows Kindle electronic books to be sampled in a Web browser.



"Kindle for the Web" is featured on the online retail giant's website, Amazon.com, and book samples can be embedded on other websites or shared through Facebook and Twitter.

Users can click on a "Read First Chapter Free" button on selected Amazon books and a browser window opens featuring the sample chapter. The book can also be purchased directly from the browser.

"With Kindle for the Web, it's easier than ever for customers to sample Kindle books -- there's no downloading or installation required," Amazon Kindle director Dorothy Nicholls said in a statement.

"Kindle for the Web is also a great way for bloggers and authors to promote books on their websites by letting visitors read a chapter without leaving their site."

Bloggers or website owners who sign on to "Kindle for the Web" can earn referral fees from Amazon when customers buy books using the links on their websites, Amazon said.

Amazon has already made Kindle books accessible on a host of devices beyond the company's own Kindle e-reader.

A Few Reviews

"The Kindle 3 is ingeniously designed to be everything the iPad will never be: small, light and inexpensive… Now, the Kindle is almost ridiculously lightweight; at 8.5 ounces, it’s a third the weight of the iPad. That’s a big deal for a machine that you want to hold in your hands for hours... certain facts are unassailable: that the new Kindle offers the best E Ink screen, the fastest page turns, the smallest, lightest, thinnest body and the lowest price tag of any e-reader. It’s also the most refined and comfortable." -New York Times

"Simply put, The Kindle 3 is the best dedicated ebook reader you can buy… Amazon has managed to increase the contrast on the Kindle in a way that sets it above the Nook, Sony Readers, or any other dedicated ebook reader we've tested… in fact given its new low price along with its massive library of ebooks and dead-simple book buying, the Kindle keeps its crown as our Editors' Choice." ‒ PC Magazine
