I've been reading this site quite a lot since my Kindle arrived on Thursday, mostly looking for opinions about accessories. Registered today (what took me so long?), and glad to be officially here.

Welcome Bunny! Glad you decided to come out of hiding and post! =)

Hello everyone.  I just joined and I will admit at the outset that I have an ulterior motive.  I wrote a book on economics that I am trying to convert into Kindle so I can get it up.  I know this doesn't sound really exciting, but I have discovered/created a new way to organize our economy so that we end all of the problems we don't like now.  The problem is the Kindle system is having trouble digesting the book and I need to get this thing up there.  Any help would be appreciated.  I don't know if private messaging is supported on this board or not, so I'll be checking on this to see if anyone can direct me to how free resource that will resolve this problem.

In the meantime, here's the description for the book that will be listed on Amazon if I can get this done:

"Recessions, depressions, inflation, unemployment, discrimination, accountability, corruption, bubbles, bailouts, bank fraud, tariffs, taxation, capital access, fiat currency, investment fraud, credit, exports, deficits, housing market crashes, entitlement program reform, market crashes, government spending, the national debt – all of these seemingly intractable problems now have a real answer and are part of an exciting and totally unique reading experience that awaits you.  The Fix is a journey into the heart of a whole new interpretation of capitalism and funding the costs of government that provides truly unique solutions to our society’s most pressing economic problems and challenges.  The Fix demonstrates a whole new way of organizing our economy so we may pay all of the costs of government on a current basis, eliminate our national debt automatically and without suffering, and preventing recessions from ever occurring again – all of it is due to the structure of this incredible new approach to capitalism that rescues our most beloved entitlement programs and ends the lack of accountability and never-ending corruption of government forever – all without using a single penny of taxes.  The Fix describes a “New Economy” where banking system failures are not possible, a new kind of stock exchange that will never crash, companies that can never be bankrupt, an end to the housing crisis, eradication of the fear of systemic unemployment and all of it in terms the average person can understand and embrace.  The Fix also describes the New Economy in terms of a new central banking system that puts an end to worthless paper money and inflation fears, a new kind of commercial banking system that no longer discriminates against anyone and operates on a self-regulating and self-sustaining basis, a new kind of credit system that allocates credit solely based upon supply and demand, a new system for generating revenue for government that uses not a single dollar of taxation and a fiscal appropriations program that provides complete accountability and transparency at all levels of government and for all programs and all companies listed on this new capital market exchange.  The Fix provides the real world solutions our society seeks to sustain and create the basis for sustained prosperity, freedom and the pursuit of happiness as we all define those terms to be.  You don’t have to be an economist or rocket scientist to understand how The Fix will change the world economy forever.  You just have to read it."

Help out a knothead and we'll conquer the world - or at least Kindle.  Thanks, CEL...

Hi,

I am new here and have had my Kindle 2 for less than a week (bought it at a local Target.) Now the Kindle 3 is announced, should have known better as a read a blog that speculated a Kindle 3 for August and most Target's around me were out, oh well technology marches on. Well, I have enjoyed my Kindle so far and hope to learn more about it and the things you can do. I have too many real books and I decided that I want to try to buy ebooks from now on to save space. I liked the Kindle because there were more books in my field for Kindle than all other ereaders combined. It also is nice to have some buttons, the nook is nice but I didn't like the touch screen, I have an iPad and iPhone so I am spoiled when it comes to touchscreen response. So hello all, I will lurk for a while, ask questions and learn. Thanks in advance for your patience with another newbie asking the same question for the millionth time.

Scott

Welcome Scott! If you like, you can always return your Kindle 2 to Target, I'm pretty sure they have a 30-day return policy. Then you'll just have to do without until your new Kindle3 arrives from Amazon at the end of August.

Just joined tonight in anticipation of the new Kindle.   Will be my first one so needless to say I can't wait for the 27th.

[911jason]

Welcome DC! Glad to hear from you... hope you join in some of the discussion as you're waiting for your new Kindle! =)

[meloyelo]

I finally did it! My first kindle will be here in just 4 short weeks....couldn't wait so I've had to start reading with the Android app. I anticipate the larger screen will be amazing!

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.

Sorry for the long post, but there is just so much to do, learn and like about KindleBoards that I just get carried away.

Newbie here.

Been thinking about getting a Kindle for ages but the whole having to buy it from the US and the high cost just kept it out of my radar.

The new one for £109, though, brought it firmly back into range.  Mine's ordered so I signed up here to read what all you folks have been discussing for years. 

Lots of catching up to do before my K3 arrives... 

[pdallen]

Once again, thanks for making this forum available, both for kindle readers, and for authors.

I had an account here, but after crashing two computers and making an interstate move, that acount is for all purposes lost. So here I am starting all over again.

With the low price of the new kindle, I hope to be a kindle owner myself within a few months.

After putting off getting a kindle for ages, I bit the bullet when I got the email about the new Kindle. Directly ordered it and can't wait for it to arrive.

Been reading a lot here the past few days, great community!

Hello all. I bought my first Kindle the morning the K3 was announced, and I have been using it daily to read PDFs, mainly of antebellum American novels and periodicals, downloaded from Google Books. It's not perfect for this use but it is an upgrade over microfilm.

I've learned a lot from the forum so far and thank the owners and mods for hosting it.

[drenee]

Welcome to Kindleboards, Slingsby.  Glad you decided to join our fun and friendly forum.
