Product Description
Join 30,000 other Kindle owners who have unlocked all the pleasures to Kindle ownership by downloading Stephen Windwalker's premier guide for Kindle owners. This full-length book is over 50,000 words -- the equivalent of 192 'print on paper' pages -- but it is a snap to navigate with a link-enabled table of contents and a detailed, link-enabled FAQ section. There is also a paperback version available for prospective Kindle owners.

Windwalker's guide was the first book about the Kindle for Kindle users, and it remains the gold standard. If you are trying to make a decision about which Kindle guide is right for you, be sure to try a free sample of this book on your Kindle by clicking on the yellow button above. Once you've checked the table of contents and seen the extensive reach of the information provided by Windwalker as well as its ease of navigation and clear writing style, your decision will be a snap.

Written for serious readers as well as early adopters and 'gadget heads', it is now also available in a handy paperback version: the perfect accessory for a Kindle owner who wants to use it alongside his Kindle or the prospective Kindle buyer seeking to complete her due diligence before making a purchase.

For authors and independent publishers who want to make the most of the Kindle publishing opportunity, you may want to consider the 2-for-1 Kindle offer of this book with 'The Complete Step-by-Step Guide To Publishing Books, Articles & Other Content for the Amazon Kindle under ASIN B001AXYLD8.

This manual should be put into every Kindle package sold. Why do you make it so difficult to learn how to use the Kendle when you first get it? Please start putting the manual in the package when you sell the Kindle.

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!
