I downloaded 9 free (I love free for experimenting with) books after my previous comment and was amazed at how super simple it was. I did almost click on one that wasn't free so thank you for that head's up.<br />Thanks for the tip about changing the background color for easier reading. I'll be sure to give that a try. And I did look for a case but the only available ones were more like a carrying case that you take your Kindle out of to use it so I'm still looking for one. Thanks for all the great advice. I really appreciate it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322631254358096948.post-58245144251188231162012-01-12T15:32:30.820-05:002012-01-12T15:32:30.820-05:00One more thing - did you get a case for your Fire?...One more thing - did you get a case for your Fire? I know that without a case, my Touch would be harder to hang on to, the case protects it but also gives you something else to hold on to :-)Jackie Kollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587109993012923471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322631254358096948.post-47344257361514964172012-01-12T15:31:35.407-05:002012-01-12T15:31:35.407-05:00You are very welcome!!!

From those sites, you can click on the link and it will take you to the Amazon page and just click "click to buy" - it will show up in seconds on your Kindle. If you want to search for a book, I just go to amazon (or you can search through your Kindle) and search for it, and buy it the same way. If you want to limit your spending, buy yourself a Amazon gift card; you can load it into Amazon and only spend that much each month :-) <br /><br />I did hear recently that on the Fire, you can change the bankground to grey, and the print to black and it makes the books easier to read??? I think if I did not have a laptop, the Fire might still be a "want" but I really just needed the Kindle to read :-) <br /><br />If you need more help - let me know - I'm trying to figure out more on how to manage all of my books too - when I do, I'll share it!Jackie Kollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587109993012923471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322631254358096948.post-44552656289944904312012-01-12T15:28:49.325-05:002012-01-12T15:28:49.325-05:00I chose a Kindle after talking to quite a few peop...I chose a Kindle after talking to quite a few people and learned that Kindle had a lot more books to offer and I've seen that true on the sites I've mentioned in the post. Sometimes the book is not offered on Nook but more often, even if it is, it isn't free. With the Kindle, if it is listed on Amazon (as far as books, etc) you can buy it for your Kindle.Jackie Kollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587109993012923471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322631254358096948.post-31630952763825114322012-01-12T15:24:16.004-05:002012-01-12T15:24:16.004-05:00Jackie,
Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing these s...Jackie,<br />Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing these sites. I was also surprised to receive a Kindle for Christmas. I got the Fire and I totally agree with you that it is very heavy and uncomfortable to hold on to but I am getting used to it. I haven't downloaded any books yet 'cuz I wasn't sure how to. Is it pretty simple? Also, I did look into downloading some books from the library but all the titles I was interested in have waiting lists. I will definitely check into the sites you suggested so thanks again for that. Have a great day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322631254358096948.post-61267048659832800782012-01-12T13:49:23.305-05:002012-01-12T13:49:23.305-05:00What made you choose a Kindle as opposed to a Nook...What made you choose a Kindle as opposed to a Nook?? Looking into these for myself and there are so many choices, it's really hard to decide.jlwilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145220155129321259noreply@blogger.com
