  • Can you get free books? Have you tried? Instead of paying

  • You can get free out-of-copyright books through the Gutenberg Project.

    You can also get free books through Amazon itself, but it's like a flea market - they're probably not the books you want to read.

  • Can you flip the text into "landscape' as yo would with a picture? That would be a benefit to me. I don;t like the idea of squeezing text into 5 words per row.. :(

  • I searched the User's Guide Manual, and checked in several message boards, but found no option for flipping to a landscape view.

    One possible workaround would be to import a PDF that is already set in landscape mode. That would take a bit of work to arrange, though.

  • lol cool. does teh text have shadow beneath it? like a calculator?

  • No - the text has no shadow. It's like reading the world's clearest Etch-a-Sketch screen. :)

  • Thx for the video. I'm getting this as a gift. With that much packaging, looks like gifting before travelling is a better option than "during" (when my SO's birthday occurs).

  • i have ordered myself a kindle and it arrives early this week. i am staying home from college to receive it. cannot wait for it to come!!! want to get my hands on this amazing piece of tech!!

    im taking it to america this summer, so need to stock up on books and such. i have already bought two, which are going to transferred to my device when it arrives !

  • lol that e-ink is very decieving! I would have thought it was a sticker ass well :D

  • Dude, your video is great. I wanted to buy Kindle and your video gives a great overview. Thanks mate. BTW I love your box/letter openers.

  • Sweet! I could be traveling soon and this is just what the Dr. ordered. If I could only get my school text books on this sucker!

  • Yeah I was kinda shocked that the instructions were on the screen...How they did that without the Kindle being turned on is unknown... Very interesting..

  • I greatly appreciate your effort!! It would be a good attribute to Kindle if they added the flipping text option. I still haven't received my Kindle yet but I'm afraid I'll return it due to its tiny screen :(

    They could've easily made the screen bigger I think, but how will they sell Kindle 3 & 4 if this one's already perfect? It's a sleazy marketing tactic I believe...
