To be cloud storage, there has to be user side syncing software. Given that Amazon's eBooks server doesn't actually have such software, it's not really cloud storage. I cannot download any software to allow me to add to my Kindle library without buying more free or paid eBooks. Last edited by JSWolf; 10-06-2012 at 07:21 PM. |

Totally off topic here but in Japan we shower first and then soak in the in the bath. I would assume most civilized places do it that way as well.

Here in the US, some bathe first and then shower off. When I used to bathe, I'd shower after. But now, I just shower. It's just a larger water & gas bill to bathe/shower.

I'm right there with you. I'm assuming I used to listen to music, but it's been so long, I'm not sure. |

Can you or anyone else tell me if you can rotate the PW to landscape mode in each direction?

And if I recall well, the only Kindle (eink, of course) that rotates in any direction is or was the Kindle DXG . Last edited by jocampo; 10-06-2012 at 11:09 PM. |

In the second one, left to right: K4S, K4B, PW light at level 0. The pic is a bit deceptive, as the font on the K4S is definitely not as black as on the K4B, but you get a good idea of the background brightness and hue. |

I believe there's a jailbreak for Kindle Touch that turns on the accelerometer and lets you orient in any direction. It seems kind of odd that Amazon has never enabled it. Same with the microphone in KK & KT. I guess they are just hedging their bets in case a competitor delivers such features.
