I didn't have my Kindle when this first written, [EDIT: Now have Kindle (K2)] but the following are items planned or in progress (To-Do list) at that time. I have since added and modified items.
  • Kindle discussions and travels
    • Kindle has multiple names (one used by grandkids {Kinkalink name no longer used by grandkids}, different one on Kindle {Great A'Tuin followed by phone number}) but is usually called my Kindle or book.
    • Took Kindle to another state. {Colorado, California}
    • [ ] Took Kindle to another country.
    • Take the Kindle out to public (i.e. restaurant, post office, mall, etc)
    • Had people ask about the Kindle when out in public.
    • Showed people the Kindle in public and explained it.
    • Let other people hold and use the Kindle in public while in a safe (could not drop or disappear) place.
  • Kindle accessories
    • No skin planned. Protective skin bought for Kindle KK but gave away. {Purchased screen protector for K2 but no skin. Also purchased a silicone cover (clear) and considering purchasing a black one.}
    • Made a custom made cover for Kindle.
  • Kindle hacks and apps
    • Current screensaver is the default. (Plan is no extra images, music files, etc. on Kindle to conserve space for books. Separate digital media player [Zen with SD card] for those.) EDIT: This might change if appropriate Apps available.
    • Have never "hacked" my Kindle (screensaver or font) and do not plan to do so.
    • Have played games on Kindle.
    • Have used Kindle Apps on Kindle. (Played Every Word and Shuffled Row)
    • Have manually applied upgrade file to Kindle.
    • [] Use Kindle for PC, Mac, phone, etc.
  • Kindle contents
    • Have more than two hundred and fifty books. (Already have 300+ downloaded with 25+ on order from Amazon [before Kindle even arrived].) {459 654 items on K2 and 63 2 archived.}
    • Have at least fifty science fiction books. (Already downloaded more than 50 prior to receiving Kindle.)
    • Have own documents on the Kindle {including 2 of own origami diagrams}.
    • Have at least five nonfiction books. (Actually expect many more than 5.)
  • Kindle uses
    • Visited KindleBoards.com with Kindle's browser.
    • Successfully posted here at KindleBoards.com with the Kindle. {Have not been able to log in successfully.}
    • Browsed Wikipedia on Kindle. Browsed Web on Kindle. Sent and read e-mail (Gmail) on K2.
    • Used the Kindle dictionary. {Found corrupt locations in dictionary.}
    • Use Kindle as reference tool (even without SD card access) via search of books/documents on Kindle.
    • Used Text to Speech on an intermittent basis. (Expect it to be OK while folding paper but not sure about while driving.) {Early tests while stationary make me suspect that use while driving will NOT work. -- Later tests made it clear that TTS while driving DOES work.}
    • Probably won't read (grand)kids a bedtime story with the Kindle. {Instead, let grandkids read from Kindle. Used K2 in restaurant to look up words to "Three Little Fishies in an Itty Bitty Pool" so that kids could sing later verses.}
    • Saved personal notes to books. (Avoided writing in paper books other than for corrections and books meant to be written in.) {More than 100 notes in some books. Also shared personal notes between Kindles.}
    • Make more notes on Kindle then have in book margins.
    • Have book tags (as notes) on books to act as searchable tags to categorize books/documents. {Only a fraction tagged so far. Have tagged all books read or started reading using 'q' tags.} (Most books, but not yet all, tagged.)
    • [ ] Up-to-date spreadsheet to track book source, usage, cost, etc.
    • Successfully converted own origami diagrams to Kindle format.

My Kindle doesn't plan on dying any time soon, so it has no "bucket list."

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

I updated my previous Kindle To-Do List and only two items remain. One item depends on travel opportunity and the other item depends on me making that a priority item instead of spending my time on other activities.  Roll Eyes

I modified the original list a bit when I created my list back in February and again when I modified it in March. Today I looked at the list and thought of some more items that could be added to original list:
  • [ ] Installed font hack
  • [ ] Played games on Kindle
    • [ ] Minesweeper
    • [ ] Web games
    • [ ] Installed game hack
    • [ ] Wrote game hack
  • [ ] Have written a Kindle hack
  • [ ] Have waited for Amazon to enable tags or folders for the Kindle  Grin
  • [ ] Have become famous for writing a Kindle hack for tags or folders  Grin
  • [ ] Have dealt with Amazon Kindle support
    • [ ] Have returned a Kindle book
    • [ ] Have returned a Kindle
    • [ ] Have sent in a defective Kindle for replacement under warranty
    • [ ] Have sent in a Kindle for battery replacement
  • [ ] Have replaced the battery in a Kindle
  • [ ] Have replaced the battery in a Kindle that was supposed to not be user-replaceable

  • [ ] Have read Amazon Kindle books on other device
  • [ ] Have given Kindle as a gift
  • [ ] Have multiple Kindles
  • [ ] Have controlled/monitored Kindle to be used by multiple individuals (such as for a library)
  • [ ] Have read Amazon Kindle books on other device

Any other activities to add to original list?
