5.0 out of 5 stars C'mon, still worth 99 cents versus Googling all over... and version 11.3 fixes previous problems mentioned by earlier reviews., June 28, 2009

By	knitters -n- critters (USA) - See all my reviews

I bought today (June 28th) and got version 11.3. The TOC clearly divides Kindle 1 from Kindle 2, and they went further by also marking each tip's header with Kindle 1/Kindle 2.
The newly added email info is cool. And granted I could have eventually heard of same tip after browsing Google searches, it's nice to have bunch of advanced info in one gulp. Worth 99 cents in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have either Kindle, May 7, 2009

By	Angela T. "Selyndria" (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

GET THIS. For $.99, you cannot go wrong with the shortcuts. I now keep up with my email and can start and stop my music with a press of a key.

There are a few more shortcuts, plus, a list of Web sites you can use with your Kindle.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worth $0.01? Maybe., April 20, 2009

By	John Goerzen (Kansas, United States) - See all my reviews

Was this worth the $0.01 that I paid for it? I suppose, but I was completely underwhelmed. The list of "Kindle-friendly websites" had a lot of them that were loaded in to the bookmarks of the Kindle browser from the factory. The entire thing is just a few pages, and it's easier to learn about these things by Googling. It also missed out on a number of shortcuts and other hidden features that I've learned about online.

So , really, I'm not sure what the point of it is.
