4 out of 5 stars From Newbie to Pro in no time!!!   March 24, 2009
S. Wells
As a new owner of a Kindle 2, I was up and running in no time with all the great advice, tips and links Steve has provided in his Complete User's Guide!!! I wouldn't have known where to begin, and now I am downloading blogs, finding free books and checking my email with my Kindle!!! Thanks, Steve!!!


2 out of 5 stars Terrible Kindle Example   March 7, 2009
Wm Gerrit Barrere (Seattle, WA, USA)

This is the worst Kindle book I've seen in my limited experience so far. There are no section breaks. Almost all the links are dead (including the "click here" ones and the table of contents links). At location 254 the text seems to go berserk and include some URLs, then at location 271 the book starts over again from the beginning and repeats everything to that point. There is page after page of web links taking up much of the beginning of the book (and you can't skip past this because there are no section breaks). Sometimes searches work correctly, and sometimes they fail saying "this book is not indexed".

The book structure is so flawed I deleted it and re-downloaded, thinking something had gone wrong the first time. But the second copy is exactly the same.

I also note that in several places the author makes snide remarks about the failings of the Kindle 1, the item he gushed about in "The Complete User's Guides to the Amazing Amazon Kindle 1". So how reliable is his gushing here going to be?

This is a really poor example of a Kindle book, and as far as I've read it's not even very helpful. I will plow through to the end, but the thing is constructed so badly it makes it pretty painful.



5 out of 5 stars A must have For Kindle 2 owners   March 4, 2009

This kindle book is a must have for Kindle 2 owners. Well written and includes all the need to know steps for bringing in public domain information. A very good reference without being too verbose.


1 out of 5 stars Not the book promised   March 4, 2009

I ordered a book from the sample from "The Definitive Guide for Kindle 1 Owners", and received "The Definitive Guide for Kindle 2 Owners". This deceptive bait and switch is unacceptable.


3 out of 5 stars Clarence's review of Kindle book   February 4, 2009

I thought the book had quite a bit of information in it, but for me it was hard to find and I was disappointed overall. If I took the time to search for what I wanted, I usually did find it, but it did not increase my ability with the Kindle very much. Clarence D. Refer
