well, i'm pretty sure i wouldn't want to be able to play minesweeper on my liseuse (but i can't buy a kindle anyway, so it's moot) but there are some interesting utilities and references on that list, whatever device you have. thanks alex !

(when reading books just isn't enough anymore...)

Trust me... playing minesweeper on a Kindle is not a Mine(d)-blowing experience.

Lord, I do amuse myself.

#101: Place the Kindle in a brown paper bag. Next, place a second bag over your own head, in case the Kindle's bag is displaced...

A lot of those tips/tricks/etc are not all that special being that if you took them out of the Kindle context and say used them for the 505 or gen3 or iLiad, they'd still work. I was expecting 100 tips/tricks/etc for the Kindle to be stuff you can only do with a Kindle.

JSWolf, can you play minesweeper at a cryingly slow pace with a Sony 505?

I thought not!

I don't think this was intended as some sort of marketing piece to differentiate the Kindle from other readers. I think it was just generally a list of things you can do.

Nope. But I can play sudoku. Can you?
