Tips & Tricks for the Amazon Kindle 2

[ecartman12]

How do you access minesweeper on the newer kindles without the keyboard?

[Sandman267]

@ecartman12 Just hit keyboard button and do the same :)

[ecartman12]

@Sandman267 Jon says that you have to press them at the same time. you can't press those buttons at the same time on the new kindle.

I have a kindle DX for a little over a year and the screen went black. I called the Anazon customer service but to no avail. The support person was not nice and did not offer anything constructive and suggested that I buy a new one.

I am VERY disappointed with the Kindle DX and their customer service. I strongly recommend you DONT BUY THE KINDLE

[whizziepiggie]

@ACG6306001 did you try resetting it or charging it?

[cena750]

just get an ipod can do this times 1000

[Redeemed]

@cena750 .。。 iPAD you mean.

iPad and Kindle are in completely different industries; kindle are a straight forward book reader (although there are other minor uses) while iPad is.... I don't know what iPad is exactly.

[theonlyrebelchild]

thank you so much. (:

[Nenukew]

do you use a screen protector, should i get one?

[parkersmommie]

thats great thanks

[bk9696338]

can you also demonstrate the newly add "pan and zoom" feature?

[Catattack37]

Hey Thanks for the tips and tricks and i like the game feature!

[superE230]

I just got a kidnle and I love it. But when I go to the experimental page, i cant scroll down to the other optons. is that normal?

[tiestopoa]

@superE230 hey.. yea i freaked out too.. so heres the deal if you want to go to mp3 you got to connect your usb cord and open the icon that says kindle.. open itunes or whatever music you have and make sure it is mp3( itunes doesnt do that it does m4p or somethig like that, i used limewire and directly transfered songs to kindle icon) then you diconnect go to experimental and itll let u go down to mp3, and for text to speech if u dont have any books that are able to speak then it wont go down.

[sita2627]

Since it doesnt have a back light, would it damage the kindle if u used a booklight to still be able to read in the dark, im asking cus i read at night b4 going to sleep and my husband hates the lamp on, so i usealy use a book light. So would it damage it at all if i still used the book light so i can still read?????????

[ohdangitsdakotah]

@sita2627 you could definitely use a book light, they sell some specifically for the kindle too if you look online .

[atholian]

Pardon the electronic ignorance but how is the screenshot feature useful?

[sshlyk]

@atholian

I believe it is useful for kindle developers to take screenshot for debugging purposes.

[ilikecutestuff]

THANK YOU Jon! I was actually searching for "javoedge hardwood sleeve case kindle 2" and I came across your video. Very practical information! Thank you for posting your tips & tricks! (^_^)/

[morgangamer22]

nice

[dchu2468]

cool games

[karausu]

mmmmmm jon, pull out that big salami of yours.

[princessbabe1313]

wow!!! i didnt know it had games lol! cool very helpful :)

[CandysAllMediaReview]

My Kindle 2 is coming tomorrow so I am already downloading books & free books (Amazon has 7,000 free ebooks) so that when I get my device set up, it will automatically sync to the K2.

You don't have to pay for your own documents to be put on it! You can transfer your own personal stuff using the Usb cable. You can convert files using Calibre (google it) and get newsfeeds as well.

I'm very excited to be getting the Kindle before Christmas!

[isaachaze1]

@CandysAllMediaReview they also have this guttenburg project set up where they have something like 30,000+ free books gutenbergDOTorg/wiki/Main_Page­. thanks for the info on calibre

[MisOmi005]

is there a fee for browsing the web on kindle 2?

[CandysAllMediaReview]

Nope

[WhatWouldBillDo]

@MisOmi005 nope, its part of the wireless cell phone service that it uses (which you dont have to pay for either!)

[princessbabe1313]

its free. i go on twitter from it lol

[giganticbang]

Thanks so much for this information. We are enjoying our Kindles (minus the Whispernet functions) over here in Australia

[TheLoofawarrior]

getting a kindle for Christmas....CANNOT WAIT!!!!

[unclebugspayton]

is there a backlight?

[PADRES294]

No, that's the beauty of it.

[tonyroolz1]

i know its beautiful. not

[tjmtom]

I want a kindle!!!

[chantalbernard]

Thanks - very helpful.

[danivilledaniville]

why doesnt it have a built in light? and can anybody plz tell me if i have to buy books off of this

[bluemukaki]

you have to buy the books and pay for your own documents to be put on it.

It doesn't have a light because e-ink technology in the screen doesn't need a backlight - books don't have a light either.

[MagicalWingLT]

Jon4lakers you forgot one secret feature for the Kindle.... Most people don't know this but- you can actually read comics on your Kindle... As the Kindle has a picture viewer.... :)

[bberkes]

Your reviews are always great! Thanks...

[xboxkid111]

does it read the book for you or just put it on the screen?

[ZvilleCows]

both

[smallpun22]

this echo is bad

[applemicrosoft1]

your audio is louder on the right speaker1

[0501701]

which makes it sound wierd

[NurEineStimme]

@applemicrosoft1 You're hard of hearing in your left ear!

[applemicrosoft1]

@NurEineStimme Lots of people seem to agree with it anyway, lol

[NurEineStimme]

@applemicrosoft1 I just couldn't resist saying that, sorry :-) The worst thing is when you're wearing headphones and come across a video with only L or R channel audio!

[lilnicson03]

Do you use a Windows Operating System

[ElectronicsCritics]

he uses an imac and a macbook

[dayminerva]

how bright is it? can you read it in a dark room with someone sleeping

[MadBoyAstro]

think of it like a piece of paper. You can't read a book in the dark can you?

[lemmywinks88]

I think he was asking if it has a back light, which isn't an unreasonable question is it?

[MadBoyAstro]

This doesn't have a backlight... it uses a E ink type of technology so that the screen looks like a piece of paper. That's why I compared it to a book.

[vaio1634]

great vid,really helpful

[AppleIsAwesome12345]

yeah...like i know amazon made it big for ease of reading, but still u would think they would put more than 2 gigs on it

[Favrefire4]

are you ever going to do giveaways?

[Jenn191]

Jon you are awesome, thanks for a great video. I want a Kindle!!

[coitsfan21]

ha for forgot to say the twitter thing

[sainifabulous]

he kena did

[AppleIsAwesome12345]

I can't believe for the price it only comes with 2 gigs of storage

[onarudkus]

a book is like 1 or 2 Megabytes, so I doubt you will ever buy 1500 books to ever fill it up.

[Campwise05]

great video

[koolwip213]

does it have a touchscren?

[iPattv]

NO IT DOESNT

[koolwip213]

oh  .

[JerGBear]

Nope

[natlinxz]

Are you going to stop making Amazon Kindle videos anytime soon?

[mick2495]
