I like my Kindle - but don't like being restricted to the Amazon website / bookshop. I haven't been able to sort out how to download books from elsewhere - either directly to the KIndle or via my PC and then transferred to Kindle.


Can anyone point me at a simple "how to do it" guide?


Cheers

It's Gutenburg and other out of copyright, or paid for books. For example, was intrigued to learn that "Cool Hand Luke" a favourite film is based on a novel. Amazon doesn't publish the novel but other e-book providers do. How can I buy and transfer to my Kindle??

Ah I see Marmora Man.

One thing I have done with documents before is email them to my kindle - I wonder if you downloaded a book to your pc, might you be able to email it to your kindle?


There are details on amazon here

Just create a new email account for her, and a new Amazon account in her name. Use your credit card to pay for whatever, then give her the log in details. She can change it to her own card details later.


It doesn't atter if you pay for things with a card that is in a different name to the Amazon account. We have a sort of joint credit card in my wife's name, and I've used it on my amazon account with no problems.

You don't need to email them to the Kindle - just connect the kindle to your PC via the usb connector - the Kindle will show up as a drive (assuming you run Windows). Drag and drop the books to the "documents" folder and reboot your kindle (you may need to go into Home/Menu/Restart on the Kindle to do this). You need to be sure the files are the correct format and not DRM'd (if you've got them from Gutenberg, should be fine).


There is also a detailed guide on the Amazon site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200493090#usb

      Bitey Fox.

      By Babbit · Posted

      I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
