Re: The Kindle Books and Resources List
It was very technical. at self. I had to select Read Books with Kindle in settings and then Read With Kindle when I opened the book.RoseMorninStar wrote:Do tell.Frelga wrote:I figured out how to send books from Libby on my phone to my Kindle, and my happiness instantly increased by 9%.
The real obstacle was figuring out what account my Kindle is under.

Re: The Kindle Books and Resources List
Sometimes it's the most obvious things that are difficult. We are expecting to jump through hoops. I'll have to give it a try and see what I can work out. My kindle is not the most up-to-date device.. so we shall see.

Impish, Libby is an app that lets you borrow ebooks and audiobooks from the library where you have a card. I don't know if it's US only, or if you could get a card at a US library with it.

Is he going to be recording the entire book?
Edit: looks like the answer is at the end of the video. Squee!

Network Effect is 2.99 on Amazon. And possibly on sale in other formats.

Re: The Kindle Books and Resources List
"The long way to a small, angry planet " by Becky Chambers. Hugo Award winning series.
I'm only a quarter of the way through the first book of a four-part series, but it's such fun I wanted to share immediately.
This is soft sci-fi - all kinds of non-human species, sapients punching wormholes to create galactic highways - but even so, no shark-jumping.
Our heroes are a motley crew of 7 misfits from 4 different species (5 if you include the sapient ship AI) running a patched together tunnelling ship. They win a contract to punch a wormhole that connects a war-entrenched species in a very distant territory, and adventure ensues.
A little reminiscent of the exploits of the Serenity crew in Firefly but there appear to be no criminal endeavours (yet
... I'm only a quarter into the first book).

Re: The Kindle Books and Resources List
I love this series, and the author. I recently finished the last one in this series, and the first one of her new series - A Psalm for the Well-Built.
Right now I’m re-reading Bujold’s Penric & Desdemona series. funny & well written.

Now that I have some experience with an e-reader, I'll say: reading in bed is really annoying, since if you don't hold it in an awkward way, the orientation will suddenly flip.
Re: The Kindle Books and Resources List
Jude, you should be able to lock it. For the whole tablet or just the kindle app.

Re: The Kindle Books and Resources List
When I read from the Kindle App on my phone, if I touch the screen in the bottom right corner, an icon comes up that is either a locked or unlocked picture of a padlock. If it shows as unlocked the orientation shifts around, but if it shows as locked, it doesn't. I can toggle between the two by touching the icon when it is up on the screen.

Re: The Kindle Books and Resources List
Thanks both - I found something in "Settings" that should do the trick. Tonight's reading session should be more enjoyable.
Re: The Kindle Books and Resources List
You'll need to switch to ebook to see the sale.
