Product Description

Kindle Nation -- a digest of daily posts from the Kindle Nation Daily -- is a weekly email newsletter by Stephen Windwalker, author of several books about the Kindle, the Kindle for iPhone App, and other innovations in the world of books. You may sign up to receive the newsletter as a free email each week at my A Kindle Home Page web site or at http://tinyurl.com/JoinKindleNation.

In addition, I am aggregating the newsletter’s back issues an issue and then a month at a time as a Kindle Store offering, as a convenience for readers who wish to read the newsletter directly on their Kindle or, through the Kindle for iPhone App, on their iPhone or iPod Touch.

More About the Author

I cut my teeth as a writer covering the Cape Cod Baseball League and other sports for what was then called the Cape Cod Standard-Times and later the Boston Globe, studied the craft of writing with Robert Lowell, Kurt Vonnegut, Monroe Engel and Carter Wilson, and served as Fiction Editor of the Harvard Advocate. In 1999 I founded a small independent publishing company called Harvard Perspectives Press (named after two of my favorite institutions from my undergraduate years, the Harvard House of Pizza and the Harvard Wine Company), and it has done astonishingly well, with a couple of niche bestsellers, other work that we have been proud to published, and now some stunning successes with the Kindle publishing platform. I have three wonderful children, and along the way I've been an author, a community organizer, a bookseller, a publishing executive, a marathoner, an elected official, and some other things unsuitable for mention here.

I have every Kindle Nation (by email), but all along I've wanted to keep them in my Kindle...now I can. I go back to Windwalker's newsletters over and over, because sometimes when I first read them I'm not quite ready to explore the info he's given. Since I take my Kindle everywhere, I can look back at all of February's newsletters in one document. Nice!

Where has this been all my 74 yrs! Everyone should own this! I have over 1000 books, plus magazines & I can carry them, in my pocket thru this machine. WOW! The daily updates have been great! I have donated my real books to the library.
