Amazon Kindle Blog's own Tips for New Kindle Users

AMAZON KINDLE BLOG'S KINDLE-STARTER GUIDE

Welcome to Year 2011! :-)   Last week, I made sure people saw the Kindle Top10 FAQs and its information areas that Amazon Kindle Team pointed us to at the Amazon Kindle Community Forums.

  That's a very detailed and thorough guide that Kindle Team made for those who attend the very active forums.

This week, I noticed that Amazon's often not-noticed "Kindle Blog" offered their own shorter guide in two parts.  The Kindle Blog is always seen and linked to on the front page of the Kindle Store when you access it through your Kindle.

It's also usually seen at the top right at the Kindlestore website when Amazon isn't using it to highlight other Kindlestore features.

Here then is a version of the shorter starter-guide they made for the Kindle Blog that you can reference when reading A Kindle World blog.

For New and Olde Kindlers Wanting to Do More with their Kindles

CREATIVE USES OF THE KINDLE
Well, pleasurable reading is good enough for most, but there is a lot more that can be done with the Kindle, as shown in the short list just below.
  (I recommend bookmarking this for quick access later.)

  1. an old, continuing favorite forum thread about the more unique uses of the Kindle's capabilities thought up by members of the Amazon Kindle Community, and I saw another idea added today.

  2. a newer forum thread of favorite tips for new Kindle owners from Kindle oldtimers.

NOTE: If your web browser (especially Firefox) drops you onto the Amazon forum list of topics instead of bringing you to the forum thread, click on Refresh or Reload to get the message thread itself -- or click on the link again.  I don't know why a 'retry' is often needed, but it is.

  3. The Kindle Chronicles
  This is a very informative, fun resource for Kindlers at http://thekindlechronicles.com, a weekly podcast hosted by Len Edgerly who, each Friday night, brings us a roundup of the latest news (with links), excellent tech tips, an interview with someone from the Kindle world at large and some from just outside it who are of course in the Kindle net then :-)  Len also presents video reviews as well.  At the site are summaries of what is included in the latest podcast report.  Links are given there for items mentioned in the podcast.

  4. the new Kindle book by Stephen Windwalker, who has been explaining what can be done on Kindles since the Kindle 1, and this just-released book that includes info for the Latest Generation Kindles is only $0.99, which is more than a bargain.


STARTING GUIDE - BY AMAZON KINDLE SUPPORT TEAM - TOP10 FAQs
To START, though, Amazon has made a new 'Announcement' in the forums which introduces Kindlers to Kindle Top Ten FAQ's, and oldtimers add to the thread, explaining some of it from their experience and helping some there who have specific problems starting out.

Here is a regular WEB version of Kindle Team's TOP10 FAQs with active links (bracketed comments are mine).
