QUOTE eh, that case is for the old kindle, u sure that is the case with the best fitting for kindle 3? I know but based on some of the users' review it does a good job for Kindle 3!...as long as you don't require a snug fit case & use it only for protection & mobility then I think it's ok...you can read some of the reviews here: Customer Reviews |

Hmm that screen cover looks okay, plus im sure we wont be able to find any similar sizes here. Its cheap too at 99cents, Added on September 28, 2010, 10:57 pmAnd also, you guys wanna get this protective screen cover? 99cents  http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-Gener...5685595&sr=1-12  only shipping's a bomb for it even within US, USD 2.94 for a 99cents product. I guess though if all of us want it, I could combine all the 99cents and share the shipping for the USD 2.94. Let me know via PM if you're up for it.

Okay havocx, you may add the zippered black-red case and the screen protector. Its up to you to get the single one or the package with 3 in it. Im fine as long i get one of it.

QUOTE(praetorian @ Sep 29 2010, 06:04 PM) Hi, Kindle is compatible with a few file types. Most files have to be converted. Amazon provides you two ways to convert your files: you can either send attachments wirelessly to the device’s personal e-mail address, which will cost you $.10 per attachment or you can send them to a “free” Kindle e-mail address that you access via your Windows or Mac OS computer and then transfer the converted files to your Kindle manually via USB.May I know what different type of ebook formats the kindle can read? Thanks in advance. The original Kindle supported only unprotected Mobipocket books (MOBI, PRC), plain text files (TXT), Topaz format books (TPZ), and Amazon's proprietary DRM-restricted format (AZW). Version 2.3 firmware upgrade for Kindle 2 (U.S. and International) added native Portable Document Format (PDF) support.Earlier versions did not fully support PDF, but Amazon provided "experimental" conversion to the native AZW format,with the caveat that not all PDFs may format correctly.It does not support the EPUB ebook standard. Amazon offers an email-based service that will convert JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP graphics to AZW.Amazon will also convert HTML pages and Microsoft Word (DOC) documents through the same email-based mechanism, which will send a Kindle-formatted file to the device directly for $0.15 per MB or to a personal e-mail account for free. These services can be accessed by sending emails to <kindleusername>@kindle.com and to <kindleusername>@free.kindle.com for Whispernet-delivered and free email-delivered file conversion, respectively, but these are services available just for those who bought a real Kindle device, not available for those who just own the digital Kindle application (iPhone, iPad, etc.). The file that the user wants to be converted needs to be attached to these emails. Users could also convert PDF and other files to the first-generation Kindle's supported formats using third-party software. The original Kindle supported audio in the form of MP3s and Audible audiobooks (versions 2, 3 and 4), which had to be transferred to the Kindle via USB or on an SD card. However there is software available (e.g. Calibre) which can convert a non-DRM EPUB file into the Kindle Format. A book may be downloaded from Amazon to a limited number of devices at the same time. The limit ranges from one to six devices, depending on an undisclosed number of licenses set by the book publisher. When the limit is reached, the users have to unregister some devices in the Manage Your Kindle page in order to add new device. In short in can actually read a variety of formats if you readily convert them to be readable by Kindle. Thus original format readable is .mobi . prc .txt .tpz .azw .pdf. Using the converter however more various ebooks are readable by the Kindle. Supported Formats for Conversion In addition to the file formats listed above, you can also convert other personal documents to read on your Kindle. The supported file formats are listed below: • Microsoft Word (.DOC) • Structured HTML (.HTML, .HTM) • JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG) • GIF (.GIF) • PNG (.PNG) • BMP (.BMP) • Compressed ZIP (.ZIP) QUOTE(Kal-el @ Sep 29 2010, 06:51 PM) simple google search will give you the answer you need Or hehe...even better do what Kal-El says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Kindle#File_formats Added on September 29, 2010, 7:33 pm QUOTE(praetorian @ Sep 29 2010, 06:04 PM) Hi, Kindle is compatible with a few file types.

QUOTE(Kal-el @ Sep 30 2010, 08:51 PM) it seems everybody went for graphite haha Haha yep! It is the one that is also the earliest to run out of stock. Whilst there might be thousands of folks in the US running around with them, i guess its perhaps safe to say we're one of the few in Malaysia at this time to first have them units, with ailinchia the first person in that I know of around having the very first 3G Kindle  Guys, sorry Ive yet to upload the shipment status, went back home from office only 1am yesterday and already in the office today at 6.30am. Ive got back to back meetings. Ill follow through later tonight. Just so everyone is updated, all the accesories except the Belkin covers have been shipped out by Amazon Partners to my US address. Amazon's orders been placed but they usually take a little while longer to work the items out. Itll be soon when we get our stuff  |

QUOTE(ckyongs @ Oct 1 2010, 10:06 AM) it does takes a lot of time to process a bulk... thank you so very very much. Thank you sir! In fact I did it as a bulk not for a quick buck but to share the shipping prices, so we get the Kindle at a fairer price that what you would ridiculously need to pay otherwise In any case, Ive finally found a way to capture clearly all the status so you guys can see. From the bottom, will be my first order, followed by the subsequent orders. As you can see the latest the Kindle will make its way to my colleagues house is October 14th  But that's just a rough estimate, Im sure itll reach earlier, in any case, as promised you'll be updated of course   |

Update : wildquest just joined this bulk. Not to hold up the bulk, wildquest has gone for an expedited shipping option so the Kindle chosen will
reach earlier or at the same time the other Kindle's will reach. Updated the status in Post 1. Sorry for the apparent silence folks, the days have been tiring with me reaching office by 7am and only leaving 11pm the whole of this week. Today, made the mistake of drinking coffee at 10pm and now am having trouble sleeping  This post has been edited by havocx: Oct 13 2010, 09:41 AM |
