I just downloaded the free version directly from the EduKindle website to my Kindle using the browser. It was really easy because their website is pretty basic.
I couldn't use that. I suspect the site will only work on a PC, and I'm using a Mac. However, I did finally find it in the Kindle Store (for $.80, not going to break the budget) along with a whole bunch of neat calendars. Cool!! Berni |

No, Berni, I used my Kindle browser and Whispernet to download the free version. |

I bought your edition for $.80 and downloaded the free version. I hate to tell you that while they are essentially the same thing, I liked the free version better, It has 8 notes on a page, as opposed to 7 notes on the $.80 version. The free version also has instructions embetted in it. But you got my $,80 anyway. Thanks for pointing it out though, its a nice add on.

Thanks for the address.
Now can someone help me? I go to the eduKindle site and hit the download and all I get is a page of GobblyDeGoop. I am sure it is a simple thing, but I have no idea what is going on.
You need to right click and do Save As instead of clicking (which would work, if you had MobiReader installed (which on a mac probably requires some sort of windows emulator and is not something I can help with). Clicking only automatically saves files due to installed reader software -- if you have no reader or want to bypass it, you always use right click (for those of us with multiple mouse buttons!) and then the choice that says "save as" or "save link as" (or something of that sort - every browser wants to word this differently). |

This worked for me: At the site, click the link labeled EduKindle Notepad. A dialog box should come up. You want to select 'save' to and pick a place to put it. 'Open' doesn't work unless you have mobiReader installed and it will just let you read it on your computer. I have a dedicated folder called my eBooks that I put such things in.
To get it to the Kindle, either e-mail it as an attachment or move it with the USB cord.

Thanks Ann. When I hit EduKindle Notepad I get a new browser window opening that has GobblyDeGoop on it. No dialog box. I am thinking the reason may be I am running Mac OS. MobiReader does not have a Mac version! (BIG sigh) Just another downside to being an Apple Fan.  |

I don't know Mac's as well, but can you right click? maybe that'll give you options?

Steve, I wish that I was tech savvy enough to develop things like this! It was something I ran across while browsing the Amazon site. I paid them the $.80 too as I don't even know how to download the free version as I use a Mac. Heck, it took me forever just to learn how to put the link in the post, I love my computer but am still learning how to operate it! Happy Holidays! Patty |

Generally, you would right-click on a link and choose the option that says "save link as." Then, depending on the settings in your browser, it will ask you where you want to save the file, or it will put it by default into the "downloads" file. |

Yes, Firefox is available for the Mac. Depending on how the link is set up, you can often just click on it and you can save the file as you described. In other cases, you have to click the "save link as" option in the right-click pop-up menu. |
