Kindle Guide to Free Content – Book Review
I have used Kindle as my prefered way of reading books (and occasional articles) evers since I the second version of this groundbreaking e-reading device. Over the years has steadily improved both Kindle and its supportive “ecosystem,” and it has never been easier to access, share and read digital textual content. However, even I have hardly scratched the surface of full potential that Kindle offers. That’s why I was happy to have come across this short e-book that explains many more ways of acquiring reading content for your Kindle than I had imagined possible.
To be sure, Kindle comes with an “experimental” web browser of its own, so in principle you can access any text that is available on the web. However, this browser is rather clunky, and its text formatting options leave a lot to be desired. Over the years I have also sent many documents of my own to my Kindle as well via Amazon’s Whispersync service, but this process can be rather tricky and tedious, depending on the kind of document you are processing.
This short book gives you a very well explained guide to acquiring content for your Kindle and actually getting it onto your Kindle in as painless way as possible. My favorite part of this book was the discussion on various browser add-ons that are in many cases freely available, which let you send content from the web to your Kindle with a simple press of a button. I was completely unaware that such products/services existed, and from now on I intend to make a full advantage of them.
This e-book is also very well written and eminently readable. It is completely filled with concrete advice and to-the-point suggestions and examples. It can be read in a single sitting, or it can be used as a short go-to reference work. I would strongly recommend it to all voracious readers who want to build their Kindle content library without having to break the bank.
