Just fire up your Kindle's web browser and go to m. (There are many features you wouldn't even think to ask about.)Īt TeleRead, Kindle World blogger Andrys Basten points out that Project Gutenberg actually has a mobile version of its website where you can download Kindle-compatible e-books directly. Most of these questions I've actually been asked (some of them frequently) others are rhetorical. For organizational purposes, I'm going to do it as a Q&A. Here I want to gather up knowledge generated from and circulated by many of my favorite e-reader blogs, just to try to give you an inkling of all the things that a new Kindle can do. The Kindle suffers from two things: 1) it's never going to do everything that a full-fledged computer or even a color touchscreen tablet can do and 2) the Kindle 3 has improved on a whole slew of features that were either poorly implemented in or entirely absent from earlier iterations of the Kindle. I was actually surprised when I bought my Kindle not just by how much it could do, but by how well it did it.
I usually wind up in conversations where someone says "I'd like to try a Kindle, but it can't _." Usually, it can. Amazon's Kindle can do a lot more than just buy and read Amazon-sold e-books.
