Unique Blog Dedicated To Those Who Own The Kindle
Amazon just launched a new program that allows Kindle books to be read inside a web browser.
This is an interesting take on Kindle books, as it allows users to share book excerpts and even embed excerpts on their own sites. If someone buys the book after reading the excerpt, the site owner can get a commission.
What do you think? Is it worth it for Amazon? Seems like a great way to share books (and maybe sell a few more, too!).
Yesterday, Amazon released a brand new version of its Kindle for Android app with some very cool new features!
If you are like me, sometimes you might not have your Kindle with you when an unexpected opportunity to read comes along – in traffic, at work on a break, etc. This is when I love having a Kindle app on my phone.
As an Android user as well, I am happy to see Amazon taking their Android app seriously! Here are some of the cool new features -
These features make the new Kindle for Android app a fully functional Kindle app, with many of the features found on the iPad/iPhone Kindle app. It still doesn’t replace my Kindle, but it is nice to have when my Kindle isn’t with me! Android owners rejoice!
With the economy the way it was this past year, many people are wanting to stretch every dollar. If you’re looking for Kindle deals and bargains, below we highlight five ways to score an Amazon Kindle and books for cheap!
1. Amazon
2. Craigslist – This is how I got my first Kindle. Someone was looking for some extra cash and was happy to sell it to me for a great price!
3. DealNews – I just got turned on to Dealnews recently. It has so many great deals on consumer electronics, including quite a few for the Kindle, Kindle books, and Kindle accessories!
4. Local Classifieds and Newspapers – You never know when someone down the street might have upgraded to a Kindle DX and wants to sell their old one! Check out your local paper (maybe you can even read it on your Kindle like I do!).
5. eBay – No doubt eBay is the powerhouse when it comes to online auctions. There are plenty of Kindle to be had on eBay, but as always, you take a risk when buying a used device.
6. Sign up for Audible.com – If you join Audible.com’s AudibleListener® Gold plan, you can get $100 off any Kindle at Amazon! The only catch is that the plan costs $14.95/month, but if you listen to books as much as I do, it might be worth it.
Any other deals out there? Let us know in the comments!
We’ve all been there. Maybe you stepped on the plug. Maybe you left it in your hotel room. In any case, that Kindle is about to die, and there is nothing you can do about it! Maybe you just need a way to charge your Kindle on the go. Here are some quick solutions to your charger problem -

1. Rapid Wall Charger – This charger works for all Kindles new and old. According to reviews, it even charges faster than the original! Comes in US and International versions.
2. Kindle Car Charger – Need to keep that Kindle charged on the go? Here is a great way to charge it while on your way to the beach.
3. Kindle Essential Kit – Want to get the whole package? This includes a wall and car charger, and saves you money on both.
4. Solar Power Boost! – Why not unplug altogether? This is such a cool device. Just sit it in the sun and let it charge your Kindle.

Most Kindle owners opt to use a book holder to read in bed, on the couch or even pool side. But which one is a good buy?
We found an excellent model on Amazon billed as “the world’s best little book holder” by its creator BookGem.
It features spring-loaded page clips which hold your Kindle (or other ebook reader) securely in place, the ability to use it in either portrait or landscape mode without blocking access to any device ports or buttons, and the BookGem book holder is completely portable as it folds for easy placement in a man bag, purse or your pocket.
