KINDLE!!! Tips, tricks, advice?

January 13, 2011
I got my new Kindle today! *SQUEEEE* Below you will find a low quality photo of me, my large, round face, and said Kindle. Its name? "Steph's Kindle." I know, clever, right? Funny story, I called Kindle support for something, and the guy said he would register it for me. When I saw the name, it read "Stephs Kindle," and I was quite horrified. NO APOSTROPHE?! Thank heavens, I was able to edit the name. *phew* Crisis averted.
So now I ask you, my wonderful bookish friends, if you have any tips, tricks, or advice for the Kindle, please enlighten me. I would appreciate your help for I am a a Kindle n00b. I already have about 60 books on there. Most of them were free. Two of them I bought for $2.99. Pretty excellent.

    LOL! Congratulations. Afraid I can't help, though. My books are all available for the Kindle, but that's all I know.
    Have fun!

    I gave my husband a 1st-generation Kindle back when he was traveling a lot. But now I've taken it over and I'm trying to learn everything you are too!

    Yaaaay Steph, definitely use the notes to assist with reviews. Highlighting and the dictionary are my favorites. I will also email you.

    Yay for your Kindle. I have yet to get myself an E-reader. Have played around with a few before, but never had enough time with the Kindle, so am not sure whether or not to get it. Hope you enjoy it though.

    Congratulations :D!! So, now you're from my club ;) . I also bought a kindle 3 in september, is so amazing and i found various tips like the minesweeper game, the way to add images to kindle or using software to convert pdf to kindle.

    Kindle is really comfortable to read, i pass hours reading and i don't feel tired.
