My favorite is Scrabble. I wish I had more time to play it.

You don't need to use the symbol menu, you use the top row of keys for the game. Q=1 W=2 E=3 and so on. it's also at the bottom of the game screen to remind you. A really good feature for this game is that you can input a game from a newspaper, which in my household is great because I have to fight with Hub over who gets to do it. So now no fighting I just input one from a paper onto a blank screen and then can solve it and we compete to see who can do it the quickest.

I do recommend the EA version, the one that I have, it is very user friendly.

Good to know, thank you! That sounds like a very nice feature. I'll have to look into getting that game.

I just picked up the new backgammon game ... it's cheap, graphics are good and play is easy and fairly quick. Nice to have another non-word based game for a reading break, hope they keep coming -- here's another vote for chess, or perhaps othello?

Since a number of people here have wished for a Kindle chess game, I thought you'd like to know that "Chess (A Classic Game for Kindle)" was just released! There are no customer reviews at Amazon.com yet, but you can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004KACWZW.

Chess is here for Kindle as well per this link:

Hi guys im from Latinoamerica and Amazon doesnt let me download games nor buy them from the website, is there other way for me to get this games?

BrianJames · 05-15-2011, 03:37 PM

Try out Sudoku Unbound also. Great reviews from people on Amazon and it has an even easier way to select the numbers without using the symbol button. I also think the puzzles are better, especially if you like some of them that are hard...they have great hard puzzles.

Here are two fun Kindle games that are free!

Number Slide

Dots and Boxes

Hi. First of all, sorry if my english is no good, I'm Spanish.

I've found a javascript Sudoku in dhtmlgoodies.com and I've made some changes to make possible play it in Kindle. Here you can see a screen capture:

You can try it here:

Enjoy it!

I would if I could but us Aussies aren't allowed to buy Kindle games.

PoP · 05-16-2011, 08:11 AM

@Solicitous

I am not sure which "changes" eleReaderCastizo is referring to.

It is an online game. No app to buy, just point the Kindle browser to the url.

jocampo · 05-16-2011, 08:49 AM

Hope I won't hurt sensibilities with this, but I do not want or like games on my Kindle. I think I downloaded one only and later remove.

I respect the opinion or others but I think is a big distraction and defeats the main purpose of the device which is reading.

I do have games on my tablets though ...

DreamWriter · 05-16-2011, 11:36 AM

I agree that the games can be a distraction, and there are times when I do read less because they are on my Kindle. I prefer to read in larger blocks (not just a few pages at a time), so the games are nice when I have only a few minutes.

My Kindle is the only electronic game-playing device I own (other than a desktop computer). If I had a tablet, I'd have the games there and keep the Kindle "pure" with books only.

I've just been formatted it to avoid browser browser malfunctioning (the original version crashes).
