 Useless September 3, 2009

There is absolutely nothing in this book which helps me use my Kindle. I do wonder how I could have been taken in by this. I read the instructions most carefully, no helpful hint turned out to work on my Kindle. I do have the Kindle 2.0. What a waste of money.

It's an electronic gizmo, right? Here's an easy way to become familiar with it and explore all the possibilities without unguided experimentation.
Good guide, well written, easy to understand!
Great product July 9, 2009

Great and wonderful book. Full of useful info on the Kindle that you could not get any other way. I am making much better use of my Kindle with the help of this book.
Easy to understand instructions for Kindle users! May 15, 2009
Mary Mallett
I absolutely loved learning about my Kindle that I have been only reading on since I got it a year ago. Now, I learned how to download a book my son has been writing, and if he chooses to publish it down the road, I have the step by step instructions for that also! I don't learn easily, but Stephen has made this very easy! I know things even my tech savvy kids don't know yet and they have a Kindle also! Thank you!

A great guide book with more information and things you can do with your Kindle. It is only for the original Kindle 1.
