5 out of 5 stars Kindle Help   November 19, 2008
The Complete User's Guide to the Amazing Amazon Kindle

I found this book to be interesting, helpful and an easy read. I purchased a "Kindle" and was looking for information to make my experience with the Kindle a good one. Steve's book not only met all my needs but he personally went the extra step to direct me to other helpful sites to help me in my own search to self-publish.

If you have purchased a "Kindle" and need a few pointers this is the book for you. And as an extra bonus you'll find some really good bargains inside.

Thank you Steve for a wonderful read.



5 out of 5 stars A must read for the new Kindle owner   November 2, 2008
Mr. Windwalker's enthusiasm for the Kindle shines through in the enthusiasm of his writing as well as in the range of tips, advice, and thoughts he provides on the Kindle.

Obviously, as with any book of this type, Kindle users will have discovered some or many of the ideas presented for themselves. However, even I, a true Kindle lover and gadget geek, mined valuable information that I had not discovered on my own. The tips range from the merely fun (how to find Minesweeper) to the extremely useful (where to find free content, keyboard shortcuts, how to use the Kindle during travel, how to manage photos and audio files).

To me, the most fun and interesting part of the book were the author's speculations on the possible future of the Kindle and how it might be a paradigm-changing device.

Everyone who owns a Kindle should also own this book.



5 out of 5 stars great book. This book should be your first Kindle purchase.   October 29, 2008

This book will help you understand your new Kindle. It is a "How to" book for the Kindle. Do not pass up this book. The Kindle is an amazing piece of technology and this book makes understanding it so easy. I give this book 10 stars.

This is a complete waste of digital space. Improperly described, it is more of an advertisement for the author's other books. .1 star would have been my choice were it available.
