While I enjoy using the download guide from Feedbooks from time to time -- more because it contains the "lists" in an easy to find/use format -- I'm not a heavy user of the Whispernet facility on the Kindle. It's easy enough to download to my PC and then transfer to the Kindle. It amazes me that some Kindle users seem to find it such a challenge.

Me .... don't know how much use I'll get out of Whispernet ... that will be interesting to see. But, there is this dear elderly lady who lives near me, and she loves to read, but doesn't know the first thing about computers ... and doesn't want to. I'm going to do a hard sell to her family about getting her a Kindle for her birthday because Whispernet is simply made for her. She has trouble getting out to the library these days (which is a half an hour drive one way) and mostly what she does is sit at home and ... read.
I'm downloading a lot of things to take to her in CD format, where I can then stick it on her daughter in law's computer and from there on to her Kindle (assuming they get her one ... but I bet they will).
I do hope that Woody's list doesn't go away entirely, however, because it would be nice for her to access books from here directly. She wouldn't be the type to abuse it, and she's not going to be sharing the information with all her other geriatric shut in friends.
