Kindling

[wolfsgirl]

Thanks. I have been looking for other e-book readers.

Love my nook.

Jack gave me an early Valentine's Day present: the Kindle FIRE!

Does anyone have one? My "old Kindle" is only a year old and I will probably sell it but the new one is a lot heavier, will definitely take some getting used too but it's so tablet-like that I forget it's not a giant iPhone.

It comes with a month of the free Amazon Prime service. Already found a book to borrow but it looks like all of the new books are not included. Anyone have Prime? Do you use it enough to justify the cost?

I have one and love it. I'm not sure about Amazon Prime really. I too got a month free but have not really taken advantage of it. I also notice a lot of books I read can not be loaned.

I had the old kindle and sent it back. I preferred the PC for kindle but Kindle Fire is def the shit.

I just got the Kindle Fire for Christmas...and I love it! I, too, got the Amazon Prime service. I am still undecided about whether or not I want to keep it. If you use Amazon, it's supposed to be worth it, as you get discounts on everything, free shipping, etc... It also lets you stream certain movies for free and download free games. I haven't borrowed any books yet...I'm still downloading all the free ones I've found in the Kindle store and on the several sites I joined that offer free books, so I can't really say if it's worth it or not regarding books.

Its 79.00. I buy tons of stuff from Amazon and most of it is free shipping or I find a vendor that offers free shipping. I'm a frugal shopping pro!

I don't see where it offers any more movie options then Netflix and Netflix is 7.00 a month unlimited streaming. I think that Netflix offers more TV series then Amazon and many times I use this.

There are a lot of free books with Prime but not really the type of books I read often but I will be honest and say that I have not checked them all out. I do think that amazon is making fast tracks at leaving Netflix in the dust. I think they should offer a monthly subscription.

I still find Kindle Fire to be a little buggy at times when it comes to the browser and some apps. I got the Kindle mainly because it now allows the Netflix app which it did not before and I probably would have bought a tablet but for 199.00 you definitely can't beat it. Hopefully as they enhance and upgrade they offer their current fire users a chance to upgrade at a discount.

It's FREE for two weeks starting today! I hope you will take a chance on it and tell your friends EVERYWHERE.

From the official site:

Book 1 in the Lusting Wild series.

New Orleans sizzles when Dr. Carly Chambers finds herself in the hands — or paws — of sexy shifter and antiques dealer Tony Pantera. Though the memory of his murdered human lover haunts him, Tony can't deny the sensual scent of this doctor his friends kidnapped or the fact that Carly is now in danger because of him.

The Turn Skins are power-hungry shifters who want to reveal themselves to the world and take over humans through fear. Tony and his friends stand in their way. Carly proves to be a tool for the Turn Skins when they learn that Tony can't resist the attractive doctor. And Carly is happy to stroke this shifter's fur. Their erotic encounters hurtle them into the path of danger and death.

Can Tony protect his human lover from the Turn Skins who don't care if she's hurt as long as they get their way?

Reader Advisory: Contains some scenes of violence that are not for the faint of heart.

After much research I finally bought an e-reader. I chose the Kobo Vox. It's much bigger then any kindle on the market. It has all the android apps, I love the scrabble one and play it every night before I go to sleep. Kobo has more free books then the kindle. This is a beautiful toy!!

I see them on eBay. Or if you have a Craigslist in you area, you might find one.

I just successfully loaned my first book to Goof! It was really easy!

Pete gave me a kindle for my birthday, woohoo.

I want to get a cover, and maybe a film for the screen.

Any suggestions?

A film might cause reflection issues. A cover should be all the protection you need. Happy Birthday tomorrow!

I have a leather cover for mine that I love and there is a film as well. I don't know what brand because I bought mine second had. I love it. Congratulations!

To those who did get my book while it was free (It's back to 1.99 now as a Vault special), would you do a review if you have the inclination? I'd so appreciate it!

[Chancie]

I was at BJ's, and I got a purple leather cover.

It's pretty and simple, and not very expensive, so

If I decide I want one from Oberon,

I can spend time and choose the exact cover I want.

My first books were The Hunger Games and The Help.

I'm a huge fan of Oberon and have a journal from waaaay back when they were only around at Faires. Still in excellent shape. The quality is worth the funds!

Hey Kindlers....

If you haven't checked out the FREE books for Kindle on Amazon, then you owe it to yourself to go there!

It's a little tricky to find on the site....you have to go to the 100 most popular lists...and ultimately it will show you a tab for free books. Tell it you want to see more....and it will show you a 2 column list. The left side is most popular that cost money, and the right is most popular FREE.

There are 100 books at a time, and they change frequently.

It sounds too good to be true, I know....but it works. I just downloaded 12 free, full length books....classics like Pride and Prejudice, Tale of Two Cities...and a couple thrillers...a mystery....a historical novel...even a 21 Day Guide to Mindful Eating.

I'm so excited!!!!!

FYI- Amazon Prime is worth the 79.00 a year. I had no idea and would not have even joined had I have not received my free trial when I bought my Kindle. I love the discounts but most of all the free 2 day shipping. Its cheaper for me to pay 3.99 overnight then spend the money in gas to drive to town. I've saved hundreds in discounts and shipping a lone just in the past 6 months.

These are the free books.

TIPS:

1. Always check the publisher's description
2. Always check the page count

Many authors are writing short stories that tie in to their existing books. My publisher started doing this a while ago and others have also started. It's extremely effective for backlist sales.

Hello there kindlers

I promised I'd buy myself a kindle when/if I reached six months sobriety. Well the goal has been achieved and I want my kindle but can't decide which one. The entry level one or the touch screen. Does anyone have any experience of one or both of the new kindles? What can you tell me that might swing me one way or t'other?

Ta ever so in advance
