Oh great! When is the estimated date that the package will reach your place?

Btw, can you please quote me the price for the kindle 3 case with light?

Thanks!!

Thanks havocx.

Just out of curiosity, won't you get taxed for all these items?

Thank you very much for the COD this morning. You are the Santa Claus of the day but Christmas comes early this year (at least for me). He he!!

Still trying to work out on how to use the Kindle. Got some questions here though (sorry if this is already mentioned in the thread).

1) How can we download /purchase e books from Amazon if we do not have US add or IP? Read somewhere that it can be done through VPN but I don't know how to do it.

2) Once we added the ebooks to our collection, they are still listed in the homepage. If we remove them, will it be removed from our collections as well?

I see that there are lots to uncover from the Kindle. It will take time but it is also important to use it at its full potential. If not, it would be like having two horses pulling a ferrari.

Thanks!!

More questions :

1) Some says having ebooks (from other sites) delivered to kindle is free while others say there is a fee charged by Amazon. Which is true?

2) Is there a way to e-mail books from Calibre to Kindle when the Kindle is off or no wifi available? I keep getting error message saying sending fail because Kindle does not respond (no wifi mah)

Not really. If we send e-mail, the sender needs to be connected to the internet but the recipient need not be online at the same time right? If we send sms, the sender need only press send but the recipient (taking that the phone is off) will receive the sms once they switch on the phone.

Is there any way to systematically store the mp3 files and adjust the volume?

Thanks havocx! I totally forgotten about the volume control at the bottom.

The Kindle looks too much like a real book that I have forgotten it is not and tossed it carelessly on the floor from the bed. Oppss!!!

How come after I converted a pdf file to mobi, the mobi file looks exactly the same as pdf? Font size cannot be changed or zoom.

Overall very happy with the Kindle. Won't have to bring so ever many books with me when travelling. Save space in luggage for shopping. He he!

Another problem. When I copy and paste the mobi files from pc to the kindle, the kindle displays the first sentence of the book as its title instead of the name of the book. Why is this so and how can I make it display the name instead?

You can use Calibre to make some changes and transfer that file back into your Kindle.

It is the same with Calibre. Once I added them in Calibre, the name of the books will be gone. I had a hard time trying to figure out which is which

My problem is not in changing the title. I can change the title, no problem. The thing is, once I added the books in Calibre or kindle, the title revert back to the 1st sentence of the book. I just added 70 Agatha Christie's book. Imagine I have to open one by one trying to figure out what is the title of the book?

Another question. We can manage our books by creating new collection in the kindle. can we do this through pc by connecting it to the kindle? Meaning, if I add a new folder using the pc, would it be the same as creating a new collection in kindle?

It is a small world isn't it?

Is there any way I can see only free ebooks for kindle by Amazon? When I go to the kindle's store, the free and non free books are listed together.

Share meaningful passages with friends and family with built-in Twitter and Facebook integration. What does this means actually? How do we do using the kindle?


Havocx, I am back from Tokyo. It was 1 deg C there. Sooo cold.

What is indexing? How do we know the Kindle is done with the indexing?

I wonder if we can use commercial mini USB cable on the Kindle?

Received e-mail from Amazon saying that there is free software updates for Kindle 3. We just need to on the wifi and the update will download automatically. However, after I on the wifi, I do not see any indication that downloading is in progress?
