if you see up at the top line it says showing however many items you have on your kindle then on the right it says by collection.

use the right arrow on the curser to go sideways and there it gives you the option of creating a new collection. Give it a name then go back to the home page.

then...go to the book you want to move use the right hand curser again and you can then put it into the new collection.

Hope that makes sense? x

****make sure that the thick black line is underneath whatever you want to move or under the by collections bit at the beginning. Use the up and down curser to get the line under it.

That's where mum keeps going wrong with it x

Muffy didn't know you could do that, would
like to put mine on a separate list, can you
tell me how please.

I didn't have any instructions with mine either but just sat and played about for a couple of weeks.

i move my books into a separate list once I've finished them so I don't get muddled up over what I've read and what I haven't.

My mum calls me over to move hers as she can't get the hang of that bit....it's all trial and error though I've found x

As it's .com, you ought to be able to access it - then print it off.

If you want to go back to the beginning first open up the finished book - then press the 'line of text' icon (don't know its proper name!), the one next to the Home symbol.

Select 'Go to' then you have a choice - table of contents, beginning, cover, end, location.

I don't think its in the booklet - its all trial and error ;-)

PPal, I looked at the site Muffy gave. Not allowed to download from that if you're not in the UK.

I sent an email to Amazon, they have given me a website.

Booklet? I didn't get a booklet with mine. Only a small thing with a diagram of where the buttons were; it wasn't much use - first thing is to use the slider and that wasn't on the ****** diagram! Took me a minute or so to find it.

I've finished a book, OH wants to read it. I have NO idea how to get it back to page 1. Like I said, I have NO instruction booklet. There are some instructions on the Kindle, but no hint as where I should look - I'll have to go page by page by page.

Very frustrating.

This is a marvellous site which lists free books for kindles. Not just classics but links to promotions on Amazon, they change daily.

Be warned though its very addictive, I now have over 100 books waiting to be read on my kindle.

Not sure if this will work for you .went on the dot com site.put Austrailia in the box at the top and put a filter price low to high and this is what came up x

I have a Kindle and I think it is the next best thing to sliced bread, I live in portugal and when i 1st got mine (last year) I had to buy from the states but then this year Amazon realised that I ordered stuff from the UK and changed it over for me. I read quite a bit and it is definately cheaper for me to buy books 1 or 2 at a time because otherwise I would have to wait until I had a order over £25 to get free postage
I am sure there must be loads of places like cafes and such with wi-fi that you can use, that it what I did until we moved into our house and got wi-fi installed

UNBELIEVABLE!

Muffy - I logged on to that site, and wasn't allowed to download anything, because I'm not in the UK!!

I'm really annoyed. Amazon claim they have LOADS of free books, but I can't find the website for Australian customers.

Grrrrrrrrr - message to Amazon will be sent soon :-P

Thankyou Muffy & Choccy!

I did find some free ebook sites, but they were mostly classics (Bronte, Dickens & the like), got fed up having to read them at school!

There's this site -


http://www.ereaderiq.co.uk/free
http://www.ereaderiq.com/free



which lists free books on a daily basis.

Please. Can anyone tell me where the free ebooks on Amazon are hidden???

How to turn it on? I sat with the instruction booket for a few minutes; it referred to a "slider" which wasn't marked on the illustration! Eventually found it.

Didn't get to class today because my knees wouldn't co-operate, couldn't walk down the hill :-( If I can't walk down the hill, I definitely can't walk back up.

Cover not here yet - can hardly wait, I'll be able to read in bed without OH being bothered by the light.

I have also got a Kindle with 3G and a cover with a light. I'm finding i'm reading books quicker than I did before lol

my friend has just presented me with a Kindle for my birthday!! but how to download on it - well that's another story!!

Enjoy Scozz :-D

*WARNING* They can become addictive lol :-D

Hope you enjoy your Kindle as much as I do mine. It will take quite a while to charge up the first time.

I ordered a 3G Kindle last Tuesday from Amaz*n and it arrived half an hour ago.

I also ordered a cover with a light, but that isn't here yet.

It's charging...................

I'll take it to computer class tomorrow, get some hints.

:-D

haven't gone shopping yet!

Haven't been out of the town for ages..... will do tomorrow because I have to have an xray, but there are NO shops near the xray place.

My birthday in three weeks.......... must give some not-so-subtle hints to OH <3
