Screenshot by Scott Stein / CNET

If you’re like me, you woke up this morning to find 800-plus Kindle books being offered up in a massive one-day sale and thought, “Wow, what a numbing amount of books.” It is, and Amazon’s bounty is not Clearly broken down by quality or genre.

A lot of the books are older classics, and many Have Been trotted Out in previous Kindle daily deals. But there are still some good finds.

I sifted through the huge list today, . and of course bought a handful of books These were my favorites – your tastes will obviously differ

“Go Set a Watchman” by Harper Lee

The controversial follow-up to. To Kill a Mockingbird is only $ 4.99 right now, and it’s one of the highest-profile books on the Kindle sale list. (I did not buy this one, but it’s Clearly one of the most notable.)

“Joyland” by Stephen King

I read Stephen King once every four years or so, and binge on a few books. There are too many to follow. Joyland is a pulp-style short novel set in the mysterious amusement park in the ’70s. It’s the only King book on sale at $ 1.99, instead of the normal its price of $ 7.99.



“Schismatrix Plus” by Bruce Sterling

A totally weird cyberpunk classic I’ve never read, and Bruce Sterling novels rarely go on sale. The sci-fi must-get at $ 1.99

“Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman.” By James Gleick

Gleick is a wonderful science writer, and his biography of the physicist Richard Feynman is a classic I’ve never read. But now I will, someday. At $ 1.44, it’s an easy buy.



“The Drunken Botanist” by Amy Stewart

The rich guide to the botanicals in alcoholic drinks. Basically, an encyclopedia of plants and Their relationship to booze. A perfect Kindle reference book and casual-browsing drink bible.



“Futureland” by Walter Mosley

I already own this Kindle book from the last time it went on sale, and you shouldnt of. The connected collection of near-future stories in the spirit of Black Mirror, but with an additional focus on race that’s rare in sci-fi. $ 1.99.



“James Beard’s Theory and Practice of Good Cooking” by James Beard

I’ve never seen this on sale before, and it’s almost Universally acclaimed the one of the classics is learning cooking technique. It’s a big book, too. For only $ 2.99, Took the plunge so i could polish my home skills.

There are Also tons of books from Greg Bear, Carl Hiassen, Leon Uris, Pat Conroy, Michael Chabon, Octavia Butler, Pearl Buck Samuel Delaney and more. It’s worth the browse.

Chrome, Tile are top tech gifts for “the olds’. But not Kindle – The Australian Financial Review

Five Reasons to Get an e-reader

That 20- something early adopter of IBM PCs and Lotus123 spreadsheets is now in Their mid-50s. As the tech revolution has matured, so have They. So what do you buy the slightly older tech enthusiast for Christmas in 2015?

For the second year running, Google’s chromecast media streamer is near the top of our list. For just $ 49, there’s the easier way to convert any old TV panel to a fairly smart TV in moments, the long of it has an HDMI socket available. Controlled by an Android or Apple phone or pad, or even a notebook or desktop with late model operating systems, chromecast can deliver Netflix, Stan, TED talks, Spotify, YouTube and many more online services to the big screen.

But for the extra few dollars, the dongle can be cunningly repurposed to enable internet que ancient, but prized, Bang & amp; Olufsen sound system you bought to celebrate your first big promotion back in the 1980s. Plug the Chrome into an audio extractor – available from electronics retailer Jaycar for less than $ 90 on eBay or for even less – and the extractor into any old stereo, and enjoy internet radio on your legacy sound system. In the 80s, we Were still hammering heavy metal, but it’s These Days Jazzradio.com. Either way, Internet radio offers something for everyone.

Amazon’s peerless e-book reader Kindle has Also Been a staple gift for our older friends because, well, They seems to be the last generation that’s programmed to read anything longer than 1000 words. But it’s off the list this year thanks to credible reports que the new range is in the offing, headlined by the Voyage 2 version que will accelerate page turns and Eliminate text ghosting, using the new processor and entry level models que are lighter Then ever. Unless current stocks are heavily discounted, They may not be a great buy.

You need not be north of 50 to misplace keys and wallets Too Often, but we’re finding it helps. Tile, the crowdfunded start-up technology, Bluetooth is a small tracking device that “tracks your stuff” and “finds your phone” to the developers like to say. It’s been overhyped, but is worth the $ US25 asking price

If your lost item. – Whether it’s a set of keys, a briefcase, a jacket or an iPad – is Within about 25 meters, it is visible to your phone, pad or some smart watches. Using an app, you play a game of “hotter and colder” the field strength bars tell you Whether you’re getting closer to your quarry. There’s a tiny speaker inside que plays the tune until you find it. In this scenario, where you’re searching for something you know has to be nearby, Tile is gold.

The app Also records where it last communicated each tile, before falling out of Bluetooth range. So you can guide you back to the cafe where it last saw your wallet, where you can ask the staff or go hunting by yourself. This works well, too.

Tiles owned by different people can Also network, and in the developer’s dreams any user can notify the bike to be stolen and Notified of its location When any other user Tile its vicinity passes. We Could Not tell if this works, because there are not enough Tile Nearly users around to create wide coverage. But Tile’s cheap, finds lost stuff around the house, reminds you where you left que briefcase and makes for good dinner party chatter. We’ve bought a 12 pack, on offer at 40 per cent discount.

Some time in your 40s, you figure in October que parents and grandparents are not immortal and que, if you’re ever going to piece together your family history, now’s the team. That makes an Ancestry.com.au subscription to welcome present from Santa. From the basic, passive family tree recorder 15 years ago, Ancestry has developed into an automated genealogical super sleuth, proactively searching the vast number of databases to identify potential relatives, Often generations more ancient than you’d dreamed of back tracking. You make the ultimate call on what’s a true match, but huge Amounts of legwork are automated.

The way to engage someone with this service is to spend an hour starting Their tree is Them. Get a sibling or two, a parent and a couple of grandparents loaded in and Ancestry will have suggestions ready the first team They log in. Sit back and watch Them get hooked on history.

What To Do When You Lose your Kindle eReader – groovyPost

Amazon’s Kindle is a portable lightweight eReader. Because it’s so light and portable, Often people leave it places. Even worse-they’re easily stolen. I know I’ve panicked a few times wondering where mine is. A little prep in advance, plus an action plan When it happens, can give you some peace of mind.



Before Your Lose Your Device

Create a Passcode

Depending on the model you have, the instructions may differ slightly. On my Kindle, I go to Settings & gt; Device Options & gt; Device Passcode . But Whether you have the Kindle Paperwhite or the Kindle Fire HD, make sure you have a passcode enabled. Here’s how to create a passcode on the Fire HD.



Your Contact Information

It sounds obvious, but put your contact information on the outside of the device. Unlike other mobile device or Kindle Fire tablets, there’s not much personal information on the Kindle itself. There is the “Find my Kindle” and you can not use Siri to ask who the owner is. I do not like putting my physical address on the device. However, I can put the phone number or email on there so someone can contact me.

If you do not want to put stickers or write on your Kindle, that’s fine. Put the info inside the case if you use one. Stick it on the space que goes behind the Kindle reader in your married. That way if anyone removes the Kindle they’ll see your information. It will not stop the thief, but it will help the Good Samaritan.

I also created the “book” called This Kindle is owned by . Kindle Allows you to add a pdf of the book to your account through email via the Send to Kindle feature. I created a PDF with key information on how to return the Kindle to me (and mention the small reward).



Amazon’s Contact Information

Program into your phone right now Amazon’s contact information. Currently it’s 1-888-280-4364 . That’s the general helpline. If you have a smartphone, just save a copy of this article. You can Also program in the key links later in the article. You do not want to wait around too long searching for information. The first thing I did when i thought I lost my Kindle was to contact Amazon.



Your Serial Number

If you want to file a police report, or claim to found Kindle, you need the serial number. Amazon tracks this information for you, but why not save yourself team and record it now? I keep this information in BOTH my password management program and contact management program. That contact has Amazon’s support number and my Kindle’s serial number.



When You Can not Find Your Reader

Assume it’s stolen. You can always revert These changes later. Your goal here is to avoid potential extra charges que add extra injury to your loss. Amazon will probably allow you dispute Those purchases, but why take the risk?



Deregister Your Device and Contact Amazon

The first thing to do is to get that missing Kindle off your account. Head on over to Amazon’s Manage Your Content and Devices . Select your missing Kindle and under Device Actions select Deregister . That Prevents someone from making any changes to your account.



I’d do that before I contact Amazon. Amazon Could have long hold times. You want to protect your Amazon account right away. When you call Amazon and report it stolen, They have the option of blacklisting it to others can not register it. I’d only recommend que if you are sure it’s stolen.



Cancel Subscriptions

You may also want to make sure That You cancel any active subscriptions through Amazon’s Subscription Center. Canceling the subscription will make sure que billing to your account stops. You always have the option of subscribing at a later date. You do not want to keep paying the bill if you no longer have the Kindle.



Change Your Password Amazon

In theory, this is not necessary. You’ve already unregistered your Kindle so the thief can not find your password. I worry about someone being able to find some digital debris of my password on there. Now that Amazon has two-factor authentication on accounts, I would not worry to much. On the other hand, regularly changing passwords is not a bad thing.



Report Your Kindle Stolen and How to Get it Back to You

Letting police and pawn shops know of your loss helps get the item back to you. That’s why you need the serial number. It Could be weeks, months or even years, but it’s possible the device might return to you. Try posting on social media and online classifieds with a small reward. One nice site is KindleReunion.com que helps reunite lost Kindles.

Fortunately, I found my Kindle a few days later stuck between two pockets in my backpack. If you ever find yourself in the same situation, now you’ll know what to do.
