kindle freebie


Recommended Posts

Kindle is good, get it from Amazon or John Lewis, but you are tied into buying their books. If you are ok with that then all is good. If you get one then you download straight into the reader from Amazon. As I said before if you have a tablet or pc then you can get a free Kindle app onto them and read books from there. I'm in the local library and download books so a Kindle is no good for me so I have an Android tablet and a Kobo ereader which lets me get free or paid books from anywhere. The choice is yours, I like the tablet best but it is heavier, needs charging if more often and I can't read it outside, unlike the Kobo. I found the Kobo touch for less and John Lewis price matched it which was good. Also, the ereader only needs charging once a month as there are no battery gobbling apps on it. Hope this helps a bit.:)

 

Try downloading the app from Amazon first and get a free book from there to see if you like it before spending money.

I would ave no idea of how u r helping thou

 

You only need to get technical if you want to transfer ebooks from one make of reader to another. My library books are security tagged and return automatically after 3 weeks, that means I have to have permissions through Adobe to transfer them. Once set up though it runs quite smoothly.

 

OMG! I'm at it again, lol. Stop!:eek::D

read your way around the world

 

That's probably about the best I'm going to do this year the way things are going. Unless you want to look after one little soft dog that is.:D He's is for a shock though, he's going in luxury kennels in September when we go to London for the Paralympics and sightseeing.:eek:
