I am starting to see the Kindle as a really good idea, just need to convince the family before the code expires.
Thanks to all of you who cleared up the confusion over the case! I hope I can be as helpful to other new users as you were to me.
Bob, That is a good point with the refund thing  |
YES! AND, you can download the MobileRead catalog, and Feedbooks catalog directly to your kindle and download from there to your Kindle if you choose, using Whispernet,.......otherwise, you can go to the sites with your computer, plug in your kindle and download that way, or download just to your laptop. Since the Kindle has whispernet, you can access mobileread from school or wherever, ( as long as you are in whispernet area) and check up on what going on in the forums. Has made many a boring doc appointment more cheerful for me!
Now, its up to others to tell you about buying books for the Kindle from other sites. I do know you just choose the "mobipocket" format, so there is no conversion needed. I haven't bought anything from anyone except Amazon, but I know you can.....I have over 250 books downloaded, most are free, but oh, mama, when I get extra bucks, I go to kindlebooks. And there are lots of books under the $9.99 mark, when a new best seller comes out, its sometimes priced higher, but just waiting a week or so will bring the price down.
I don't do audio books, or music, so I can't talk about that.
Good luck!
