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.
- Have read PDFs on Kindle.
- Have used Amazon's organization feature. (Created Collections)
- Kindle book related activities
- Have spent more money then usual on books, because of the Kindle.
- Increased visits to the library because of the Kindle. (Librarian there should receive her Kindle about the same time I will.
) {Later another librarian, DH, received KDX as early Christmas present.} - Kept going to bookstores and or ordering books online because specific books not available on Kindle.
- [] No books remaining in TBR list. (Never expect to complete as TBR list is currently 179 not counting samples and PDFs.
)
- Kindle support
- Have had Kindle replaced twice by Amazon support while still under warranty (sunfade).
- Have refused Kindle replacement offered by Amazon support when I was convinced it was either a software or book error.
- Have had power cord replaced by Amazon support when Kindle less than one week out of warranty.
- Kindle purchases and other e-readers
- Have purchased Kindle (DX) as a gift for someone else (DH).
- [] Own more than one e-reader. (I am not counting Palm reader on my Palm T3 as I don't buy books for it.)
- [] Use more than one e-reader
EDIT: Added [ ] for items to complete. Added items. Simplified text and corrected mistakes. Changed Kindle-naming item. Edit after having Kindle just over 1 week. Edit again after having K2 for nearly 8 months. Edited again after having K2 for over one year. EDIT: Reorganized. EDIT: Updated for Applications and Collections

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 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. [/li][li] [ ] Took Kindle to another country. [/li]- [ ] Up-to-date spreadsheet to track book source, usage, cost, etc.
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.  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
 - [ ] Have become famous for writing a Kindle hack for tags or folders
 - [ ] 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 physically modified Kindle
- [ ] 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? Bucket List! Kindle Related! If you do not yet own a kindle you can play too. ^^. Just put down your plans instead! Place an X in the brackets to mark it.
