KINDLE FOR BEGINNERS

My mini-book about using Kindle is available at:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006E4PBK0

It describes only those basic tasks which I actually performed. The title is KINDLE HOW-TO: NOTES TO SHARE; the price is less than one dollar. Each short note describes a different task, as shown below:

Table of Contents
Introduction
Note 1: Kindle's keys and buttons
Note 2: How durable are Kindle's batteries?
Note 3: Extracting text from a Kindle book
Note 4: Kindle's wireless channels
Note 5: Private documents on Kindle
Note 6: Archiving my Kindle books
Note 7: Finding a phrase in my Kindle book
Note 8: Grouping Kindle books into collections
Note 9: Reading Kindle books on my computer
Note 10: Writing Kindlle books

Being a beginner I would like to know what more knowledgeable people think about this mini-book. If you are one of such people then contact me by email at

kowalskiL@mail.montclair.edu

and I will send you the mini-book in Word format. Your comments will help me to improve the book. Yes, I am contemplating a second edition, after becoming more knowledgeable. Please share the link with those who might be interested.

Thanks for the tip.

I've found Kindle promising, useful, yet irritating so far. How can I cut-and-paste (I've been retyping)? How can I cite the text in uni assignments?

I'd be delighted to check it out.

We just got a Kindle and so far have been using it to read classic literature to our kids. But besides downloading a couple of ebooks so far, I must admit to not knowing how to use it very well. This how-to ebook sounds quite useful.
