5.0 out of 5 stars
Author's Note:, October 7, 2008
**FLASH 10/16 ** As an EXTRA, This book now includes FOUR TOTALLY Amazing Free Bonus Items. The new description is still in process of posting, but you can grab the free sample to see what they are. For you who already bought this, just re-download and you'll get them free. (If you don't know how to delete and get a newest copy, it's in the book, or, read the descriptions of some of my other updated books, where it's also explained)

The Kindlefrog does it again! Here's a Kindle guide that's quite, quite different:
It's a VERY quick guide for new Kindle owners that absolutely won't drag you through long-winded writings. Much more concise than Amazon's own guide, it still covers most ALL the "best ways", tricks and extras that you need, or want to know.
These days, you'll see about 7 or 8 Kindle "guides", unexpurgators, decryptors, etc. in the Kindle store. Look for guides that are rated above 1000 in Kindle store sales - there are exactly two - Windwalker's and mine. Both are quite long reads; his covering the well known basics, plus extensive treatment on publishing your ebooks; mine doesn't focus on commercial publishing, but deeply explains every other thing you can do with, to, on, or about your Kindle, while being a little more humorous about it..
If you think you'll mostly buy and read books with your Kindle, maybe those aren't exactly your need, wondrous friendly books though they are. What could be handier for you is something that covers most, but not all of the key topics and best tips, but is precisely arranged for a quick scan or quick lookup. This one does that.
Even better, it's not just a book, but a joyfully effective live browser aid, too - you can check a date, even make notes for that month; AND use built-in Kindle Click links to instantly visit websites you need - like your email, online calendar, or to get directions. And you don't have to mess around typing things in. Try the free sample (- you can't jump to the back detail in it, because samples are the first 3 pages only - but you'll get a good idea of the style and how it works.) Here are all the topics covered:

future kindle, November 17, 2008

Save your money!, March 17, 2009
The only thing that might be of interest is how to justify the kindle as a business expense. Otherwise, save your money! No help at all. The other guides are much better. It wasn't worth the $1.49 or whatever I paid for it. I had it for a day and deleted it from my kindle.
