Hi Fellow Kindle Fans or is that fanatics?!  I have been lurking and reading, finally joined up. Received my Kindle for Christmas a bit beforehand. Love it! I live out of range for WhisperNet but download via computer/USB. When I know I will be in WN areas, I add a number of books and while driving, have WhisperNet turned on and my books download as I travel down the road. Just discovered and ordered my first Oberon cover in the wine Celtic Hounds and am awaiting its arrival...sure there will be more in my future! Using a M-Edge Go cover now. Love how the Kindle has made reading a pleasure again, easy on my hands and fun! shamrocker |

Greetings and Welcome, New Kindle-owners!! We are so glad you found KindleBoards! We have many areas that you probably will like. Have you been to The Book Corner yet? That's the area for discussions about books (naturally  ). That's also where you will find threads about books Recommended by our Members and a list of additional sites for Book Lovers.Then there is the Book Bazaar where our member/authors post about their books and hold discussions about writing, publishing and many other topics. That is also where you will locate Bargain Books and even Free Books threads where you can get reading material at low or no cost! Here is a link to get you started: Master list of free & under $1 titles available from Amazon. If you have a question about your Kindle or it's usage, check out the FAQ or the forum about Tips, Tricks and Trouble Shooting . Or, just ask your question. We have many helpful and knowledgeable people here at KB and we feel there is no such thing as a "dumb" question. Questions about KindleBoards may be answered at Your guide to Forum Speak! linked from Forum tips. If not, once again, ask away! To keep everything running smoothly, we ask that everyone read Forum decorum. Another popular place is Let's Talk Kindle, where all things in the Kindle world are posted about. Be sure and check out the Photo Gallery, where pictures of members, pets, flowers, landscapes or just almost anything interesting can be found. Have you been to the Accessories area? There you will see information about covers, skins, lights, bags, stands and many other items to allow you to personalize your Kindle. Looking to just kill some time while you are waiting for your Kindle or if you have your kindle, want to try something different? Try INFINITY Game - Word Association or The "INFINITY" Thread: KEEP POSTING...Ready, Set,... GO!!! in the Not Quite Kindle area. Sorry for the long post, but there is just so much to do, learn and like about KindleBoards that I just get carried away.  |

Welcome to Kindleboards, Shamrocker.
You've got it right, most of us are fanatics. We love our Kindles and we're not afraid to say so.
Looking forward to more of your posts.

Didn't think that I really needed a Kindle, but after 2 months of ownership, I can't imagine not having it. I find myself lost while reading it that I actually attempt to physically turn the page! I still love "real books", but the Kindle Rocks! Now to make time to figure out all the neat things that it can do.

This site is a user board for Kindle, the new wireless reading device from Amazon.
We're not affiliated with Amazon. We're gadget enthusiasts, and booklovers too.
Kindle, released in November 2007, has a lot of innovative features - electronic paper display, ability to download wirelessly without the need for a PC, free samples, and more.
And while it's innovative, it's not a perfect product either. It looks like we'll have a lot to discuss in the months ahead as the world gets introduced to this new way of getting and enjoying books, newspapers, blogs, and more.
Thanks for visiting Kindle Boards!

Good evening! I just happened upon these boards a few days ago, and my wife and I both received our Kindles today! I think this is the beginning of two new beautiful relationships. It's already hard not to "load up" on books to read and to pace myself. Hope to "meet" a lot of new friends here and learn a lot about my new device!  Brian |

Thank you for the welcomes! This board is a wealth of information. I received my Oberon cover in the wine color Celtic Hounds yesterday and am expecting a DecalGirl skin in Monet's Giverny. Enjoying reading so much more now!

Hi Harvey, and thanks - nice to be here -- I was very close to buying a Kindle recently, but the launch of the iPad threw a spanner in the works, so I'm hoping to get some good insight into these gizmos from the Kindle community.

Question for Harvey, I think. Yesterday and today I made about four posts. I had been at 46 posts. I was hoping to get my total posts up to 50 to get me out of the Dr. Seuss category into the next one. However, at least 4 (maybe 5) posts were numbered #47 by Lulucello. Can you fix this? I promise I'll continue to post.

PS: I really love this board! Thanks!
