 The Skinny: Why Would You Want a Kindle Fire if You Love Your eInk Kindle? |
By Steve Windwalker
Okay, short and sweet. And just my opinion.
Over the next few weeks, and certainly including this issue of The Weekender, you'll see plenty of information and opinion about the new Kindles, how to use them, what to use them for, and so forth.
But there's a simple question that's on a lot of people's minds. You already own a great Kindle (whichever Kindle it is). Why would you want to spring for the new and improved model?
The answer involves all of the other digital content that's online these days, including but not limited to the music and video content that Amazon sells. For everything you might want to enjoy -- movies, tv shows without commercials, music, Audible.com audiobooks, email, Youtube, Netflix instant streaming, games, online magazines and newspapers, productivity apps, everything on the web including Kindle Nation Daily, and, yes, ebooks -- the Kindle Fire's the best, most elegant, best value proposition for easily, seamlessly enjoying all of that while in a, er, relaxed posture. Nothing else comes close, assuming you don't want to throw your money away.
I was concerned about whether the Kindle Fire 7" display would match the experience of the iPad's 10-inch display. The Kindle Fire wins in visual experience, handheld weight, speed of content delivery, and form factor. When you factor in price, it's not even close.
For reading books, I still prefer my eInk Kindles, but even that could change: the jury is at lunch, watching a movie on the Kindle Fire between bites.
If you are like me, (perish the thought), you may have tried a number of devices looking for a truly portable, relax-on-the-sofa computer that didn't cost thousands. The Kindle Fire is not exactly that, just as the Netbook and the iPad and the Kaypro and the Osborne were not that. I'm not going to write my next book on the Kindle Fire, just as I am not going to write it on the iPad. But I have to say that the Kindle Fire comes closer than anything else I have experienced to providing a truly portable and easy environment for me to enjoy what I enjoy when I am not creating content.
As I told Len Edgerly on his podcast this week, the Fire tablet is like a direct line or portal between our brains and our senses and everything else in the world, or at least everything in Amazon's store. And that may often seem like a distinction without a difference.

Don't miss this week's interview with Kindle Nation Daily founder Steve Windwalker on The Kindle Chronicles podcast, all about the new Kindles and more!
|
| The Launch of the Kindles
(and a nice story that holds up against any Honest Abe tale we've heard)
|
| Kathi
They came in trucks. Brown trucks, red white and blue trucks, whatever trucks Amazon could hire. They came early, and in a few cases they came late.
Amazon shipped millions of Kindles earlier this week, between the Kindle Fire units ordered by customers and shipped a day early on Monday, the Kindle Touch units ordered by customers and shipped a week early on Tuesday, and the truckloads of Kindles shipped wholesale to many of the 16,000 brick-and-mortar retailers that have lined up to sell these new models.
Here at Kindle Nation we had ordered about a dozen new Kindles between our Kindle Fire sweepstakes giveaways, staff needs, and early-decision holiday gifts. All but one arrived on Tuesday -- the one that came a day late was the one I was sending myself just in case Amazon's promised review unit didn't show up. And guess what, Amazon's promised review unit arrived late too, but happily Kindle Nation Daily's new Kids Corner editor Candace Cheatham made a lightning-quick run to Staples to grab us the first Kindle off the shelves at the Fresh Pond store. Thanks, Candace, and thanks to Staples associate Jason for giving us a call the minute the Kindle Fires arrived!
So it's here, and what do I think?
I'm ecstatic.
Elegant?
Exquisite?
Pick your own e-word for this aesthetically pleasing embodiment of electronic excellence.
We;re weighing in above and below with more particulars, with important things to do before you totally lose yourself in the experience (as if we're on time for that assignment!), and with some discussion of why you might want a Kindle Fire if you already own a Kindle 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
And over the coming days we'll shine a light on a few relatively small issues that Amazon might target for improvement, although it's entirely possible that some of these concerns may vaporize as we, our brains, and our individual and collective muscle memory grow accustomed to the challenges of learning these new devices.
Let's be clear: we're only going to scratch the surface here, but there's lots more to come in upcoming issues, Kindle Nation Daily posts, and the latest comprehensive Kindle guide* on which my collaborator Bruce Grubbs and I are working round the clock to prepare for you.
But first, back to the trucks for a moment, for a story that warmed my heart, from Kindle Nation citizen Kathi C. of the nearby city of Lynn, MA. (For anyone familiar enough with local culture to be aware of a certain four-line piece of doggerel about Lynn, suffice it to say that Cathi's exemplary behavior gives the lie to that particular verse!)
As Kathi wrote in on Thursday:
My kindle Touch arrived today, my friendly UPS Guy handed me TWO boxes marked kindle! My inner devil's response was yippee but my good angel said bad girl! The two boxes had identical UPS Tracking Numbers but the Serial Numbers on the end were different (only by the last 4 characters). From Manage My Kindle I figured out which of the serial numbers was preregistered to me. The typical very friendly and helpful CSR at Amazon sent me a label to return the 'extra' kindle. I shudder to think how many of the millions (?) of k-Touches will be duplicated today. What a nightmare that must be for all the people like me that have tracked their shipment or are just eagerly watching for the UPS truck! Thought you would be interested... Keep up the good work! Kathleen C. Lynn MA
Brava, Kathi! And if there's anyone at Amazon reading along at the office, we think that woman deserves a nice little Kindle Store gift card!
(We will only disclose Kathi's full name to authorized Amazon officials.)

Slay Bells and Satchels
(Haley Randolph Mystery Series)
by Dorothy Howell
|
"From the author of HANDBAGS AND HOMICIDE and of PURSES AND POISON..."
by Dorothy Howell
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here's the set-up:
The Summer Santa Sale at Holt's Department Store becomes a Christmas nightmare when sales clerk Haley Randolph finds a murdered elf in the store's giant toy bag. Haley, a crazed fashionista obsessed with designer handbags, could find herself "bagged" if she doesn't untangle this mystery quicker than Saint Nick can slide down a chimney. But Haley has another problem: Can working with hot private detective Jack Bishop put her on Santa's "naughty" list?

This Week's To Do List:
What to Do When Your New
Kindle Fire or Kindle Touch Arrives
|
How much do you love your new Kindle?
 | | Kindle Warranty Plans |
Let's put it another way: how bummed would you be if it stopped working? I thought so.
So, please, make a decision now about whether you need an extended warranty. I'll confess that I self-insure in this case, but if you are someone who wants warranty coverage, please don't wait until it's too late. 2-Year Square Trade Warranties for all new Kindle units range from $25 to $45, and they cover accidental drops and spills with zero deductible and up to 3 claims during the warranty life. You can get all the details here, but don't tarry, because you have only 30 days after your Kindle ships to cover it with warranty protection.
Okay, nicely played. And now, you can combine protection with style when you select a Kindle cover and other accessories.

Viewing Photos (Or Any Pictures) with the "Gallery" App on the Kindle Fire
By Bruce Grubbs
|
re
(Ed. Note: Bruce Grubbs is the author of several books on travel and the outdoors, as well as -- with co-author Steve Windwalker -- a recently released user's guide on the Kindle Keyboard and a soon-to-be-released Complete User's Guide to the Amazing Amazon Kindle covering all current Kindles Including the Kindle Fire, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard, and Kindle. If you'd like a heads-up notice when our new guide to all the new Kindle models is available in the Kindle Store, just shoot an email to kindlenation+KGuides@gmail.com. It's a pleasure to welcome Bruce to the Kindle Nation Weekender.)
On the Kindle Fire, you can sideload your photos from your computer with a USB cable and view them with a built-in app. Although this feature is not documented in the current Kindle Fire User's Guide and information is buried in the on line Kindle Help, it is easy to use.
Since the Fire has limited memory, you should resize your photos to medium resolution, ideally 1024 x 600 pixels, before sideloading them to the Fire.
Transferring Your Photos
- To transfer photos to the Fire, connect it to your computer with a USB to micro-USB cable. The Kindle appears as a disk drive on your computer.
- Copy your photos to the Pictures folder on the Fire. If you like, you can create folders on the Fire to organize your images.
- When you are finished, eject the Kindle from your computer and disconnect the USB cable.
Viewing Your Photos
- Go to Home and select the Apps library. Tap the Gallery app. Gallery opens with thumbnails of your photos, or icons of your folders if you have any.
- Tap a folder to open it and view thumbnails of your photos. While in a folder, you can view thumbnails or tap the con in the upoper right corner to view photos by date.
- Swipe to scroll through your the thumbnails. Tap on any image to view it.
- Tap Back to return to thumbnail view. If you tap Menu while viewing an image, you have several options. You can share an image via email, delete it, look at details including file name, type, creation date, album (folder) name, and file size, as well as crop and rotate it.
You can also zoom in and out by pinching or using the magnifying icons. To start a slide show, tap the slide show icon.
These three icons are not always visible; to bring them up, tap on the image.
When you're finishing view your photos, tap Home to return to the Home screen. Gallery will show up on the Carousel; long-press it to add it to your Favorites if you wish.
Another Approach
You can also send many image files including photographs wirelessly to your Kindle Fire using wi-fi and your you@kindle.com address. If you take this approach the images will be converted into ebook files and will show up as Personal Docs. They will take less storage space, but will not be accessible through the Gallery app at present, and you may have to use your Manage Your Kindle page to redirect them to your Kindle Fire if you have multiple Kindles and you've already sent the images to the cloud.

The Retro Kindle Fire:
A Fun Way to Brand Yourself as a Kindle Early Adopter As You Rock Your Kindle Fire |
What is that ugly thing at the right?
If you were an early adopter of the Kindle, maybe it looks familiar. But it's been a while, right? And, well, let's just say that, whatever it is, that thing was not designed by Kate Spade.
But, yes, you've guessed it, that's the original Kindle 1 cover. We were happy to have it at the time, back in late 2007 or early 2008.
We didn't even have to pay extra for it, although that might seem like a small victory when one considers that it came in the box with the Kindle 1 for the princely sum of -- gulp -- $399.
Now I know there are many of our readers who are still loving their Kindle 1s, and I would never disrespect that ... or you. But there are also a good many others of us, thousands of us who were Kindling before Kindle was cool, so to speak, who have not gotten much use out of our Kindle 1s or Kindle 1 covers in what seems like a l ong time.
Well, I now propose a proud new use for our Kindle 1 covers! (Yours may be in a little better shape than this one on which my son Danny proudly inscribed his name. He was 9 at the time, and he is much, much more sophisticated now.)
Voila!
Your old Kindle 1 cover may now be worth more than your Kindle 1 -- Amazon is offering about 10 cents for those on trade-in, but perhaps I exaggerate -- because the Kindle 1 cover makes a great snug-fitting retro cover for your new Kindle Fire!
Maybe you'll love it. Maybe you'll hate it. But either way, you'll be branding yourself to all the world as someone who was there at the inception.

Heads Up! Less Than 24 Hours Left! You Have Until Sunday Afternoon to Enter for Week #6 of Our Brand New KINDLE FIRE Giveaway Sweepstakes, Sponsored by Marie Astor, author of ON THE RIM OF LOVE
|
 We are well into week #6 of our wild and crazy plan to give away a brand new Kindle Fire every week through the rest of this year and well into next, and we have already surpassed last week's record of 2,727 entries.
(Our WEEK #6 GRAND PRIZE winner, Amy Pippin Mire of Wolfforth, Texas, was randomly selected from all the entries to win a KINDLE FIRE tablet. We connected with Amy by email and telephone to confirm her identity and shipping address, her Fire was ordered Monday morning, and Amazon has confirmed for us that there will be a brand new Kindle Fire arriving at her office tomorrow, November 17.)
What about yours?
Maybe yours will be awarded Monday, but you know how this works, right? You can't win it if you don't enter.
After a couple of weeks of suspense sponsors, we have returned for the Week #6 Sweepstakes to the world of love and limmerance with a highly rated contemporary romance novel by popular novelist Marie Astor, ON THE RIM OF LOVE.
(And just in case you are wondering, Marie has already paid the full cost of that new Kindle Fire that could very well have your name on it. Every penny. What's that? If you have a good understanding of how karma works in these matters and you want us to repeat that link so you can make sure you have downloaded a copy of ON THE RIM OF LOVE before the Week #6 drawing, thanks. But let's be clear that while the cosmos works by its own rules, we of course have no way of knowing what you download from the Kindle Store.)
The Week #6 Sweepstakes runs until shortly after noon on Sunday November 20, and entry details can be found at the end of this post.
But first ... a word from this week's sponsor:
by Marie Astor
by Marie Astor
4.8 stars - 9 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here's the set-up:
Twenty-two-year-old Maggie Robin has been dating the irresistibly good-looking Jeffrey Preston for a year. But when Jeffrey proposes marriage to her a week after her college graduation, Maggie finds herself wondering if she wants to spend the rest of her life married to a workaholic TV show producer.
Her doubts culminate when during a ski trip to British Columbia she meets Taylor Denton, a handsome, free-spirited big mountain skier.
Maggie's attraction to Taylor is undeniable, but she is engaged to marry Jeffrey. Will Maggie have the courage to follow her heart?
Also by Marie Astor:
About the author:
Marie Astor is a die-hard romantic who wholeheartedly believes in true love, which is why she writes in the contemporary romance genre. Marie is the author of contemporary romance novels, On the Rim of Love, Lucky Charm, and a short story collection, A Chance Encounter and Other Stories. In addition to being a writer, Marie is an avid hiker, an excellent swimmer, a good skier, and a capable badminton player. Currently, Marie is working on her next novel.
If you would like to learn more about Marie's writing, please stop by her website: www.marieastor.com to sign up for book release updates and events or visit her on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/marieastorwrites.
So ... is that it?
Of course not!
Here are the details on the Kindle Nation Week #6 KINDLE FIRE Giveaway Sweepstakes:
There's no purchase required, but we do need you to go to our Kindle Nation Facebook page and "Like" us. Give the page a few seconds to load, because for some reason it takes a little longer than some.
Then just scroll down and follow the prompts to enter the sweepstakes, and you're done! (Of course, if you want to really improve your chances of winning by multiplying your good fortune by your good karma, we hope you'll take a page from recent grand prize winner Steve Wisener's book and pick up each of our sponsors' titles. But like we say, there's no purchase necessary.)
It's that simple.
Good luck. And happy reading!
