 Gets you started with loads of useful information July 4, 2008
M. Nair (Houston, TX)
As soon as I bought the Kindle I picked this book up. It let me understand the 'hidden' capabilities of Kindle. For example, I use the slideshow feature of Kindle described in this book immediately to turn the pages automatically for me when I am working out on a bike or a treadmill. To give me enough time to read the page while working out I set the font size to be maximum. I listen to the music while working out with Kindle as well. For someone who just bought Kindle, this book will get you started quickly and serves as a quick reference in the Kindle. I use the search feature of Kindle to hit the information in the ebook whenever I want to lookup. Highly recommend buying this book, for this price you will not regret it.
 Not What I was Hoping For June 30, 2008

I am extremely disappointed in this pamphlet. I recently purchased a Kindle (which I love, by the way)and wish to know about everything it can do. This 'book' seemed like it would be worth a try, particularly since it was marked down from $4.95 to 99 cents. How can you go wrong on 99 cents, right? (Although today I see the price is $2.39.??) I found this to have only one chapter (I believe it was #12)that had anything even vaguely helpful. I now know how to play Minesweeper! There were a few other tips, but the majority of the beginning chapters were more or less a screed for the Kindle. Also, if you want to self publish for the Kindle it could be helpful indeed. I feel somewhat mislead - where were the '100 pages of other cool tips'.
Highly misleading.
 Helpful but complicated June 28, 2008
I thought this book was helpful, but very complicated. It helped me understand my kindle much better.
I wuz robbed! June 27, 2008

I missed the word "excerpt" in the book description. What you get is a tiny excerpt that tells you how to use the Kindle Browser to read blogs via the Google Reader. Might be worth the $2.50 price if there were a dozen other articles of similar depth. As is, not worth the money.

This is going to be a great book when the full version is out. Lots of useful information provided in this preliminary copy. Discusses in plain language what can be done with the Kindle besides downloading and reading books. Kudo's to Mr Windwalker. Keep up the good work.
