The Kindle Screen Doesn't Look Like A Screen

The Kindle Screen Is Very Easy To Read

"My first impression of Kindle's screen was: 'That's a screen?! It doesn't look like a screen.' When I got my own, I had the same impression again. It looks like a book page, only perfect. No grain or pulp." —Jeremy

"I love how the screen really looks like a page, because I do work at a computer all day, and the last thing I want to look at is another screen."

—Amy P.



"I found the contrast to be soothing and I was able to read in direct sunlight with no glare." —M. H.



"I use my Kindle for reading in bed and sitting at my desk. I also did a test read while sitting in full sun and the screen is even more readable."

—Dallas M.



"Everyone who has seen my Kindle is amazed at the clarity of the screen, ease of use, and plethora of features."—R.L.S.

Kindle Is Really Flexible - These Instructions Will Help You Do So Much Stuff

"You can purchase and wirelessly download Kindle books, newspapers, magazines and blogs from the Kindle Store as well as download and read other types of non-DRM text-based content on your Kindle. You can also play Audible audiobooks or MP3 files. When your Kindle is connected to a computer and mounted as a USB drive, you will see three default directories or folders. Here's a list of the directories and the file types recognized by Kindle:



Documents: Kindle (.AZW, .AZW1). Text (.TXT), Unprotected Mobipocket (.MOBI, .PRC)


Audible: Audible (.AA, .AAX)


Music: MP3 (.MP3)


Tip: Mobipocket files must have no Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection applied to be readable on your Kindle. If you purchased a Mobipocket file from a Mobipocket retailer, you will not be able to open the file on your Kindle.


Personal Documents


Kindle's Personal Document Service (via Whispernet) allows you to e-mail the following approved file types to your Kindle's e-mail address:


Microsoft Word (.DOC)
Structured HTML (.HTML, .HTM)
RTF (.RTF)
JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG)
GIF (.GIF)
PNG (.PNG)
BMP (.BMP)
PDF (.PDF): Look below for details.
Microsoft Word (.DOCX) is supported in our experimental category.


The above file types can also be combined in a compressed ZIP (.ZIP) file. ZIP files are automatically opened up by the conversion service, converted to the Kindle format, and sent to your Kindle or computer as specified.


The experimental category represents the features we are working on to enhance the Kindle experience even further. You can e-mail your PDF or DOCX files wirelessly to your Kindle. Keep in mind that some complex PDF and DOCX files might not format correctly on your Kindle.


Built-in PDF Reader for Kindle (Global Wireless) and Kindle (U.S. Wireless) devices


Your Kindle can now display PDF documents without losing the formatting of the original file. Send PDF documents directly to your Kindle (via your @Kindle address) or drag and drop PDF files from your computer to your Kindle (when connected via USB). You can also magnify PDFs by viewing them in landscape mode.


Some features are not currently supported, including annotations, Text-to-Speech, and zooming and panning.


Option to Convert PDF Files to Kindle Format


If you prefer to have your personal PDF documents converted to the Kindle format so you can take advantage of Kindle functionality such as variable font size, annotation, Text-to-Speech, etc., type "Convert" in the subject of the e-mail when you submit your personal document to your @kindle.com address.


Image-heavy PDF files are presented in landscape orientation and don't work with devices that have auto-rotation, so those will be delivered in the Kindle format."

Do you know what, I think it's Kool to have a Kindle

It's amazing the looks I get from people when I pull my Kindle out down at Starbucks and start to read; you know when you can feel them staring at you wondering what you've got. You can get some really cool accessories, too. I've just ordered a stylish Cole-Haan leather cover for mine, and I am considering buying one of the GelaSkins in the future. Take a look at what you can get when you become a Kindle owner

My Dad told me about this ... I think he's giving me a hint

I told my Dad that I was buying a Kindle and being a bit of a 'silver surfer' he decided to do a bit of his own research. When I turned up at Mom and Dad's house to proudly show them my new Kindle they asked why I didn't get the Kindle DX, after all it has a large 9.7" display which makes it easier to read, plus you can store a massive 3,500 books on it, and it comes with auto-rotation. Now I could see how this would benefit them because they are in their seventies and would find the Kindle DX easier to read because of the bigger display, and portability is not much of an issue as they don't get out much. I think that if your eyesight is not as good as it used to be and if you want a larger unit, the Kindle DX is a good a choice. Now I know my Dad and I guess he's giving me a big hint as to what he wants for his birthday in a few months time!

I've had my Amazon Kindle for just over a month

I've had my Amazon Kindle for just over a month now and it's absolutely fantastic; it has become my constant travel companion whether it's when I am on the train or if I have time to spare when parked up in the car. It's slim; just over 1/3 of an inch, as thin as most magazines, so it it fits neatly into my backpack or brief case, and it's lightweight. At 10.2 ounces, it's lighter than a typical paperback.


Another great thing about the Kindle is that it's like having  a library 'on demand' 24/7; I can get books in under 60 seconds; these are delivered wirelessly with no PC required. 3G wireless lets you download books right from your Kindle; no annual contracts, no monthly fees, and no hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. you can enjoy 3G wireless coverage at home or abroad in over 100 countries.


The Kindle can store up to 1,500 books and it allows you to read for one week on a single charge.


A great surprise for me is that my Kindle reads like real paper without glare, even in bright sunlight
