Thanks for the information. I always assumed that when you email something to yourname@free.kindle.com that it would just show up on your screen when you turned the whispernet on.

I think that since I want to name the file correctly its just as easy to use Mobicreator and bring the pdf in there directly and change the metadata and then convert it to .pcr format since I have to use the USB cord to get onto my Kindle anyways.

I have Leslie's book but haven't read it all the way through. When my Kindle first arrived, for the first few weeks I just wanted to read books. Now that I've had it for a month and a half I'm ready to learn more Smiley

I didn't mail it directly to my Kindle because I wanted to name the file before putting it on my Kindle. You can download to your computer and then mail it to "yourname"@free.kindle.com and they will email it back to your regular email address. You click on the link that they send and it asks you get the prompt to save it. Save it to your computer and then you can rename it before adding it to your Kindle with the usb cord.

Hope this helps. I'm sure there are better instructions on the board. Leslie's book is a big help. It was the first thing I bought and read on my Kindle.

How are you all getting the lists you're linking to - I can't figure out how to only see 0-0 price range or how to find Featured only.  The only options I have are the sort by price, pub date, bestselling up at the top right, which is worthless now that all those stupid freebies are in there.

On the fantasy forum at amazon, there is a new thread for authors that want to offer their books for free:
http://www.amazon.com/tag/fantasy/forum/ref=cm_cd_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=FxRHP2KEWXI0H1&cdThread=Tx3BEE3XS7XU6JH&displayType=tagsDetail

I have already read The Legend of Witch Bane (author has also offered it up before), and I wasn't impressed, but maybe somebody else would like it better.
