Cinnamon Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 For the folders,you just make collections for them..its really easy,but I can't tell you how I do it (always the way - if I had my Kindle in my hand right now,I could tell you) Same for deleting them - there is a remove from device option there somewhere. Sorry - probably not much help TRY THIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 IOnly downsides I can see are, no light for reading in a dim room, I got a cover with a built in light for mine. Marvellous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but some of them are £50! I just use my bedside lamp, the OH wears a blindfold in bed anyway because he reckons the light through the crack in the curtains keeps him awake in the summertime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 IOnly downsides I can see are, no light for reading in a dim room, I got a cover with a built in light for mine. Marvellous. Yeah but some of them are £50! Well worth it in my view, I love it for many reasons. It is an easy light in the sense its not harsh on my eyes (important for some people), it charges from the kindle and it means I can read without disturbing anyone. Last summer on our holiday our 7 year old was maxed out (parents you will know the hyper situation I mean) and we all needed time out. However as we all share a room that means one or both of us have to go with him so I happily went along and laid reading in the darkened room whilst he finally zonked out to get the sleep he really needed. Thanks to my little kindle light I got back a normal son and reading time. As the advert says PRICELESS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Ooo thanks for that, ive just bought 5 books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Does anyone know the best way to find the cheapy books? I've looked on bargains, and deal of the day, but there's a limited selection... I wish I could sort them according to price like you can everything else on amazon! (Obviously, I can sort them ALL by price, but I'd have to go through all the free titles first!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I have found lot via their Facebook page,as they advertise them there. I also pop books I know I want into my wish list & check the prices on them regularly. The 100 most popular is good to look through too,as there is a free list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry - probably not much help TRY THIS Thank you. I have now made collections so my home page is no longer 4 pages long. I can see where to delete if need be as well. I had a look at some kindle cases with lights, and I will be getting one. Is there anywhere that you can inform them of books that aren't laid out well, ie paragraphs are close together instead of having aline break, or a line break in the middle of a sentence? Apart from that, I am loving it more and more each time I use it. It was bliss to sit in bed yesterday morning, cup of coffee in one hand, kindle in t'other and not having to put my mug down to turn a page *ahh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 To report problems just go through Amazons help button. I have had to do this twice & have been refunded both times now. They inform the publisher too & email you back once the faults are sorted. You will need the order number which you can find on the manage my Kindle page. Amazon make it all really easy to manage & report problems......just go through the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I emailed Amazon about Fallen Skies and they were a bit snotty about it and asked me to inform them of any mistakes I'd found, I went back through a few pages and jotted them down (there are so many mistakes in this book its silly) and emailed them but informed them that they could employ a proof reader to do this and not their customers! Anyway I took my kindle away at the weekend and we were staying in a bunkhouse with 6 other people in our room and it was great to have my lighted cover as I could read without disturbing other people. Well worth the money in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well,its not the first email they have had about this book. It is ridiculous - a mistake on almost every page - I reckon it has gone through some sort of programme & that has simply swapped some words for others,as the mistakes are not just spelling errors,but whole words are wrong. I know of at least 2 others who have complained too - I get a full refund & an apology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yes it's almost as if they used predictive text as a lot of words were totally wrong for the sentence. My favourite so far so far is 'Lily thought he must be having some LAND of fit'! I have had an apology but no refund alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Email again,or phone them. I phoned actually,& spoke to someone right away 9thy call you back) & explained the situation. I am happy to message you my email address so you can say that I have complained about it too - just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks Sarah, I'm not too fussed as I'm enjoying the book, I just can't believe that they hadn't proofread it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Phone them when you have finished it It made me cross - we pay for a perfect product & that book was anything but. The £5 I spent on it is better in my pocket than theirs if they can't be bothered to proof read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadietoo Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just to say Santa brought a Kindle in his bag for me and I already love it to bits....!! It's a Kindle 4 and all the covers look like they bulk it out a lot...I like the lightness of it in the hand when reading, and so I am thinking of just buying a slip cover for mine.......any recommendations?

Seagazer Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 My YS loves his Kindle that he got for Christmas. He's already downloaded lots of books courtesy of Amazon vouchers from relatives. He's gone halves with us for a lighted cover. It's been lovely seeing him settled down and reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Love my Kindle too 3 books downloaded and I've finished one already. I just have a cheapy neoprene cover for mine - I think it was from Tesco. But it doesn't protect the Kindle whilst you are reading, it's more to prevent scratches etc whilst it's in your bag/on the table etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
