Okay, so Mr. L gave me a Kindle for my birthday last year. And I love reading on it. It's great.And aside from opening a book, I really have no clue how to use it.
It came with a very small "instruction manuel" which basically tells you how to turn it on and BUY BOOKS. Other than that, you're supposed to use the USER GUIDE on the Kindle itself.
Well, that would be swell...if I could GET TO IT. I have three pages of books and book samples on my Menu (if that's the correct term), only I don't know how to page back through the list of books and samples to GET to my User Guide.
My friend Dru-Ann Love was going to give me a step-by-step lesson in how to use the thing while we were at the Malice Domestic conference in Arlington back in April, but we were both busy visiting and making new friends, and when we were together, we forgot all about it.My sister-in-law is coming to visit next week. She's got a Kindle. I'm gonna sit that girl down and have a little chat on Kindle 101. Then maybe I'll gift her with one of my books. (I think that's the only way I might actually get her to read one of them. She's not a mystery fan, moresthepity.)
Until then, Mr. Kindle is going to gather dust.
Here's a link to a video that came out in 2007 when the Kindle was first launched. It's a guide on how to use it. I don't know how helpful it is, but it wouldn't hurt to check it out. http://gizmodo.com/324304/video-how-to-use-amazon-kindle
ReplyDeleteYou might also check YouTube for a how to video.
Oooh! Thank you. I'll go look at it right now!
ReplyDeleteI got a Kindle for Mother's Day and I'm still learning new things about it. I have to say, once you figure it out more, setting up collections and storing the books in them will help so much with organization.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
If you do a google search of kindle instruction manual, it will pull up a pdf file for anything you want to know how to do. You couldn't pry mine out of my hands now tha I learned how to use it. I LOVE it!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe never did get a chance to play with the kindle.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll learn some new tricks from your SIL to share with us.
You must be like me. Every time I try something new on my computer or anything electronic, I feel like a moron because I cannot figure it out. It's just a reminder to me personally that I'm not a computer generation person.
