If you log into your amazon account there should be an option somewhere called MANAGE MY KINDLE that should let you "deliver" whatever kindle books you purchased to the new device. Hope that helps.

Meanwhile, thought I'd break in my new Xmas kindle with a little Johnny Maxwell Trilogy action. Just found out that here in the Colonies we only have the first two books available for the kindle. Johnny and the Bomb is not available. Really!?!? Only two out of three books in the trilogy were made available

I got a kindle for my birthday... My consumption of Teenage Trash has increased ridiculously because of the fact that a) nobody can see what I am reading and judge me and b) many of the books are £1 or less. It's a little silly how many books I have devoured over the last month. I have a tendency to do a browse, download about twelve books, and proceed to read them all in a week. This could be why I failed that mock exam I had the other day...

Oh dear, I've downloaded a TP book to my Kindle...this could be the first of many :shhh:

On the Baen site it gives you the option to download them in Kindle format Spidey.

 

[Tonyblack]

And you can load books from Project Gutenberg to Kindle too.

Gosh so many good times await!

Any book recommendations from those sites?

It's weird but if i read a paperback in bed I'm asleep within 5mins but for some reason I can read my Kindle for much longer!

Here's a link to Gutenberg.org. The books are all free because they are out of copyright etc. So lots of classics there.

Talking of classics, I downloaded Lady Chatterley's Lover the other week, to see what all the fuss was about.

Managed about 8 pages and gave up. Drivel, and I hadn't reached the "naughty" bits.
