 Terrific tips for Kindle owners April 22, 2008
14 out of 17 found this review helpful
You'll be amazed at all the things you can do with your Kindle besides the most important -- reading books. The $2.39 I paid for this book added 10 or 20 times that amount to the value of my Kindle.

You are paying for hints
as you would for an online game
and you can figure it out for yourself
It works sometimes
but appears to send a msg that it doesn't
Caveat Emptor
Basic Web is primitive and time consuming

After reading this article I spent a couple of hours playing around with my Kindle. Not only is the Kindle the greatest way to read, it also can be used for other great things. Who knew? Thanks Steve for the enlightenment.
Good reading April 29, 2008

The booklet "How to Use the Amazon Kindle for Email & Other Cool Tricks" is just the icing on the cake of the Kindle, a wonderful new reading tool. The book is full of ideas, is easy to read, and very helpful in managing this new gadget. I'm not a geek, so I appreciate the author's kindness in making a new technology more fun that it already is, in a comprehensible format.
Thanks
 Do not give this guy your e-mail address! He just spammed me. October 6, 2008

This book was my first Kindle purchase, because I was looking for some info on how to use the device. Little did I know how this seemingly helpful chap would misuse my e-mail address to promote his political ideology!
The book is "OK" -- it covers the basics, and gets you to the point where you can use the fundamental features, but it does not go too much further. On the book's content alone, I would maybe give it 2-1/2 stars.
I then went on to follow his suggestion of adding my e-mail address to his list. He claimed that he would be sending alerts when his Kindle book was updated.
Surprised was my reaction this morning when I opened a lengthy e-mail from Stephen Windwalker (yes, it was a real e-mail from him) in which he wrote an extensive note about the importance of buying a Kindle book that paints a certain female candidate for VP in a very negative light.
I have read several books and articles about that particular candidate -- enough to realize what is agenda-driven and what is detached accounting of the facts. The rag this Windwalker guy is pushing is something that clearly advances one particular political opinion.
Whether you agree with Windwalker's viewpoint or not, how dare he mis-use my e-mail address to send me his thinly-veiled political opinions!
I would therefore recommend find an alternative source of Kindle information, and definitely not providing your e-mail address to this guy. The "sheep in wolves' clothing" image comes to mind.
