locked up kindle

Kindle — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:43:13 +0000

My first generation kindle decided to lock up on me last week. It won’t do anything….turn off, turn page, nothing at all. I tried to reset it with a paper clip on the back, but that didn’t work. I can’t figure out how to get the battery out. Any help would be appreciated, I’m going through kindle withdraw.

Can my wife and I share one kindle dx

Kindle — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:41:24 +0000

Can a kindle dx be registered to more then one amazon account at the same time so she can log in as herself and buy books just like I can or does she have to use my login to purchase and download content to the kindle?

Text File Problem on Kindle

Kindle — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:41:18 +0000

I have been transferring some of my text files to my Kindle 2, and the files are very readable on that device. There is a problem, however, which I am hoping someone here can help me with. It is this: Following transfer of the text files to the Kindle, I notice that random errors in spelling start showing up on the Kindle display. * The word ‘From’ may become ‘Front’* The word ‘to’ may become ‘o’* The word ‘tell’ may become ‘;hell’* The word ’some’ may become ’som’* The word ‘he’ may become ‘be’* The words ‘come to me’ may become ‘cometome’The errors do not always repeat, either in the same document, or in other documents, but errors of this kind do occur in all of the text files I have copied to the Kindle. And yet they don’t exist in the document that was the source of the copy. It’s as if they are randomly occurring. I have copied the questioned file back from the Kindle to my computer and compared it with the original source that was copied and found them to contain the errors. From this it would seem that the Kindle is correctly displaying the file after it is copied, and that the error occurred somewhere in the copy process itself. I have never seen this happen when copying from computer to computer, or from one disk drive to the same /or another drive so I’m wondering if the Kindle is doing any processing of the file before it is actually recorded in the Documents folder. I look forward to any suggestions you may have. BTW: I am using MS Vista Home Professional on my computer, and I am using the standard copy process available in Windows.

Kindle needs a PC and MAC ebook viewer – just like BN

Kindle — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:41:05 +0000

It’s ridiculous that Amazon has not implemented this. Trying to protect sales of their Kindle is ridiculous and futile – they should focus on selling ebooks. Also native PDF is essential for the Kindle 2 to succeed. BN will own Amazon once their readers come out.

Book Sharing

Kindle — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:40:53 +0000

My daughter and I both have Kindles. Is there any way we can share our books? From what I’ve read it sounds like one of us would have to register our Kindle under the others account so they are both on the same account together. Is that right? Then what happens if one of us de-registers their Kindle and puts it back under their own name. Do you lose all the books from the other account?I sure hope this makes sense. It’s hard to explain by typing.

Bibliographic capture of notes and clips

Kindle — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:40:48 +0000

We need a change to how highlighted text is captured so that the minimum data in the capture includes the fields guided by the APA 6th edition Publications Manual.The ISBN number and other important information are not captured when a quote is stored. This makes using the content so much harder later.Why not use a standard, like APA, to determine what you store in a capture? One of your key markets is academia and students and faculty will find the note capture lacking for that reason.Look at programs like EndNote for the model. But surely APA is a minimum.

Downloading Samples

Kindle — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:40:39 +0000

Just wondering how people typically use the Sample feature. Do you use it at all? For every book you’re interested in?What percentage of samples eventually lead to sales for you?
