This review is from: Using Kindle: A Complete Guide to Amazon's Revolutionary Wireless Reading Devices (Kindle DX, Kindle 2) (2nd Edition) (Kindle Edition)

This is an excellent book and well worth the cost. Some of the references are still a bit vague after reading, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. But, all in all, a good purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs Updating, December 22, 2011

autumnmoon (Clifton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Using Kindle: A Complete Guide to Amazon's Revolutionary Wireless Reading Devices (Kindle DX, Kindle 2) (2nd Edition) (Kindle Edition)

I only downloaded the sample, but can easily tell this needs updating. The author talks about sorting books and states that folders are not supported.
I would suggest waiting until a revised version is available.
