Product Description

Kindle Nation is a free 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. You may also view the Kindle Nation archives free at http://tinyurl.com/KindleNationBackIssues. In addition, I am aggregating the newsletter’s back issues an issue and then a month at a time as a Kindle Store offering, at the lowest price I am allowed to set, 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.

Stephen Windwalker is our Kindle voice and source of news for everything Kindle. He always has the inside scoop, is on top of Kindle political issues (yes, there's politics galore whirling around Kindle), and has accumulated a mass of Kindle links and info, which he shares every week with his followers.

This newsletter (and other communications connected to it) is the go-to source for Kindle users. There are relevant links to literally every Kindle site, including hundreds of free Kindle books available across the web. The articles are not just Stephen's thoughts and ideas, they are brilliantly researched, annotated, and up-to-the-minute news reports.

Aside from the Kindle Nation newsletter, Stephen publishes Kindle user guides that are far more comprehensive and informative than what Amazon puts forth for its Kindle customers...and at a minimal cost.

Overall, Kindle Nation is a weekly newsletter that is a must-read and entertaining too!

I've found several articles of interest and I do enjoy finding all the free or low cost books for the Kindle. It arrives in my email box every Monday morning as regular as clockwork.
