Just saying hi.  I'm a brand new Kindle owner, got my first on 8/27.  I'm now going to be on my second K3 due to freezing and rebooting problems and chose to upgrade to a 3G from wifi only.  People here have been so welcoming.  I've been spending my time here on these threads:

http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,5446.675.html to look at pretty Oberon covers.  I can't decide yet!
http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,31183.650.html to decide which Fossil Sutter handbag I need to buy to go with my Kindle and my cover.

There are serious enablers on this board.  I can already tell.

Yet another newbie here, though I started lurking about a week ago. Been wanting a Kindle for awhile now and my brother surprised me by buying me one for my birthday. K3 3G and wifi, supposed to arrive between 9/27 and 10/1. I can't wait for it to come--I'm a complete nerd and technology junkie and love my books as well. Seems like a really nice group here and I'm glad I found it.

Thanks, Harvey. I have to admit to not yet owning a Kindle, or other electronic reading device, but I hope to change that soon.

Just bought my first Kindle today.  All charged up and loaded some books on there.

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 the Writers' Cafe that has discussions about writing, publishing and many other topics.

     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 Forum tips. If not, once again, ask away! To keep everything running smoothly, we ask that everyone read Forum decorum. There are a few points there particularly for authors.
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.

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

Hello - international newbie here and glad to be here to check in all i can about the K3.... getting Ke Wifi as a gift and still awaiting its arrival
Have learnt much from the sharings here on K3, problematic issued etc, like the sunfade and rebooting, resetting of the K3 and frankly am getting rather concerned about it and hopefully I don't get a dud set.. or it'll be a total hassle just shipping it back to the amazon US.

meanwhile, i'll just read up on all yous feedback on your K3 etc..

Hello everybody! I'm a new board/Kindle 3 user (I will be on thursday 30-09 to be specific, as it is deliver date set by Amazon ).
I'm from Poland, Europe, and after the Eclicto (polish rebrand of EB600) Kindle is my second e-ink device.

[911jason]

Welcome DevX... is your Kindle being delivered today (Thurs the 30th) or tomorrow (Fri the 1st)?

Hopefully today! =)

[DevX]

My K3 arrived yesterday morning, it took UPS less than 4 days to deliver it from the west of US to the central Europe. Very nice

I've been lurking here for a week or so, my kindle 3g+wifi just came in today (took all of 4 days), so I thought I'd finally register and say hi. Hi!

[Cindee]

Greetings from Hong Kong! Got my Graphite K3 with 3G yesterday.

Now I am just busy lurky around the tips flowing around to get myself familiarized with my new baby. What bummed me out a bit was I found out the cover I bought is a little bit too big for my K3 ... I should NOT have canceled order for the amazon cover! 

[slavetoabunny]

Hi!  My name is Patti and I am already a Kindle addict after only a few days of ownership.  My other addiction is rabbit rescue...I am a slave to my own 2 seven year old girls and foster 3-4 others at any one time.  Fortunately, I am a work-at-home slave and have plenty of time for all (most of the time).

Hi everyone! I'm Jenny, I'm new here, and new to ebook readers. Just bought my Kindle this morning, can't wait for it to arrive!

[MelissaF]

Thanks Harvey, I am looking for some place where i can find more about Kindle.And i guess it is a best forum where i can get more ideas and useful information here.

Hi I'm a writer from far away in Indonesia and I'm new to Kindle board! Good to be here.

I have just uploaded my ebook just 2 days ago on Amazon, so it's still hot & fresh. Please have a look in case you're interested. Here's the link

http://www.amazon.com/Angel-Tales-Jonathan-Iveron-ebook/dp/B004A8ZVH0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1288662032&sr=8-1

In one sentence the book is about:

"A scifi-fantasy action novel set in Indonesia 170 years in the future, that tells about an evolved race of powerful angel-like humans who battles to retrieve an ancient artifact that can destroy the human race."

So it's an action-packed scifi adventure book . Hope you'll enjoy it!

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

New member here.  I've been lurking on the boards for a little over a week but I think it's time I join the board since I've decided I want to start saving up for a Kindle.  I'm currently a nook owner (please take it easy on me)  but since I've been sharing it, I think a second eReader would do my household some good.  I like the nook and could just add a second one but I think adding a Kindle to it would be fun and would let me experience the best of both worlds.  Hope to learn alot about the Kindle and its accessories around here.  Cheers.
