Thanks! More to come soon.

What's going to be in the shopper's guide?  Book suggestions, accessories, tips for use?   I mean there are only 2 kindles to choose from, so not much of a guide in germs of choice.

Here a link to the thread with more information: Kindle Shopper's Guide. Would you like to be part of it?

Well, as long as Amazon keeps selling refurbished Kindle1s, there are actually three to choose from.   Wink  There are reviews of each, giving pros and cons, discussions of accessories, tips for getting the most out of your Kindle, resources and links to pertinent information on KindleBoards.   The link cited previously is probably the best place to get info about the Guide until it actually comes out!

It's now available from the Kindle Store!



We priced it at $1.99; we will also be having it available as a download from our site. That will be up in a few days. That version will be free for download... but if you can't wait, and don't mind sinking the two bucks on the Kindle Store version, your purchase there will help the Guide  get some visibility in the Kindle Store.

Here's the link:

Thanks! Let us know your feedback on it!

Hi,
I saw the guide up at amazon ($1.99 but thought it was going to be $0.99).  Is the pdf up here yet?
Thanks,

The guide is published in Amazon's Kindle Store and at OmniLit.com. Price is $1.99 in both places.

The free version (in .prc form) will be posted here in a few days.

At present, the free version is in .prc form, but I am also seeing about making it available in PDF form as well as ePub and other formats.
