Welcome to the forum, Granny419.
How are you getting on with your kindle? And what sort of books do you like to read? |

Hi Journier, What a nice reply. I have a Kindle, got it yesterday afternoon, and am still struggling with the Free Downloads World. Will format my questions as soon as I feel articulate enough. Glad I've lived long enough to hold the miracle of an ebook in my hands! |

Why doesn't the Kindle screen give me any help when the USB is plugged in? It only announces something about charging. THANK YOU PATRICIA!!! FIGURED IT OUT! Life's good! Last edited by Granny419; 09-04-2009 at 11:38 AM. Reason: Problem solved. |

Granny Girl, you have found your heaven here! OK, look at the top of the page, the blue bar. Click "ebooks" and there you will find all of the FREE mysteries, church history, and 20th century authors that your heart can wish for. I think for the Kindle you will need to download MOBI format. Happy Browsing!

Stevenson
Love to read Stevenson, Walter Scott, Disraeli, Dickens, Hawthorne, Wm Dean Howells, Sinclair Lewis, am looking forward to some great reading with my new Kindle, and all that free downloading. If I ever figure it out!!!!

another great site is feedbooks.com ; even more free books ! lots of great classics there. also, i believe that both mobileread and feedbooks have a "kindle download guide" which you can add to your kindle and then download the books directly from there. i'm not positive how it works but there are plenty of kindle pros who can help you. look for daffy4u ; she's one of our kindle experts. |

I can see I'm in for a great morning, putting off my chores!!! THANKS! One question: do you have a kindle (Kindle 2)? I managed to download a book from ManyBooks, using Mobi, then couldn't get two more downloads accomplished using the same technique. Think I'll go back and try again -- there's probably a simple solution. FIGURED IT OUT!!! Life's terrific. Last edited by Granny419; 09-04-2009 at 11:36 AM. Reason: Problem solved |
