 Thank you for a lot of useful information! March 6, 2008

There are, perhaps, other sources for the information contained in this article, but they are not easily located--and I certainly didn't find many of them in the literature that accompanied my Kindle. That is why I am very grateful to Mr. Windwlaker for writing a collection of very useful tips. The cost, in my opinion, is negligible compared to the value received. Not only is his writing style very clear and readable, he is obviously a talented teacher given the way the material is organized. This author's work also seems to me to be a good example of the way information will come to be disseminated with what he calls "convergence devices" such as the Kindle. I am grateful that I found this work. I will cheerfully purchase anything Mr. Windwalker writes.
Great set of Tips March 23, 2008

How to Use the Amazon Kindle for Email & Other Cool Tricks: Read and Answer Email Anywhere, Anytime on the Amazing Amazon Kindle (The Amazing Amazon Kindle)
This is a great first set of tips for the Kindle. The author is open and is building the book based on his own and other users' experiences. What a perfect way to develop a user's guide/tips book.
It's immediately useful and answered a number of questions I had with the device.
I urge people to spend the $2.00 rough price for the book and to keep the author encouraged by emailing and adding to his blog.

Update August 2008: I noticed the price for this publication has gone up from the $2 range that I paid for it, to $3.99 but I still think if you are a new Kindler it is a helpful tool. I appreciate Mr. Windwalkers help and all of the users input at the KindleKorner on Yahoo Groups. It's great to be able to share shortcuts and hints with other users.
Yes, one could play with the Kindle and eventually find out how to use certain functions, but why do trial and error? Why not have step by step instructions from someone who knows? I'm too impatient, I want to know how to do it NOW.
Having the recommendations for sites and links to visit for more info such as the KindleKorner users group is also another nice feature. The Kindle is a wonderful tool and will revolutionize how we read today just as the iPod did for music listeners. Imagine future generations of students not having to lug bulky bags of books around campus. I am loving my Kindle's adjustable fonts and features. The email function is so cool and handy, as one doesn't always have a WiFi hotspot available when traveling and a laptop is so much more cumbersome. Sending email is a lot like texting on a cellphone what-with the small keyboard, but it is doable - still better on a PC, but in a pinch will do. The Kindle has been the best gift I have ever received. I have a very cool son :)
How to use the Amazon Kindle..., or, Wanna supersize that order, Mister? April 3, 2008

"How to Use..." etc. is a "must have" if you are thinking about getting a Kindle. Stephen Windwalker (you have to admit that is a cool name) is bright, inventive and pragmatic in his observations and suggestions for making a somewhat insipid gadget, an electronic reader, into a true information and communication tool. Windwalker appears to have taken on the mantle of advocate for those of us who have bought one of these things (thank goodness he has). I think he understands its capabilities more than Amazon does. So forego the latte this time and get this edoc and get more out of your investment. You won't be sorry.

Without this aid I would never have found out how to delete, how to get a SD and on and on. Thanks so much Stephen.
