Reviews comparing the experience of a printed book with a Kindle you’ve seen the hills. And articles talking about the new features of the Kindle Paperwhite as well. Already told, in a column that printed mailing x eBook already won and there is not much sense to my reading habits. Then, instead of preparing a simple review, I decided to share the tricks I’ve learned in recent days that let you make the most of the experience with the reader and your Amazon account.

After these tips, it will be difficult to peel off the device:

Send files by e-mail

Forget the idea of ??transferring files via USB – there is a much more practical way to send files to your Kindle. When you registered to your Amazon account, was automatically generated final@kindle.com an email with your credentials. Typically, the top of the email is the same email you used in registration (check the ‘Your Account’ panel after log on Amazon).

After confirming your @ kindle email, make sure you verify that you are authorized to send messages and files to the address – it only receives content previously selected accounts. By default, the email you used to create the account is already authorized. But if you use quite another address, such as a work email, or if you want to authorize another person to send documents to your gadget, empower them here.

Now just enter your normal email service and send an email to the account @ kindle with the desired content attached. You do not even activate a command on Kindle – just the device be connected to the internet the download is automatic. Which means that even if your reader is far, you can send documents to read through it later – if you’re in the office and Kindle are at home, for example,

To send PDFs, create an email, attach PDF file and place, such as subject, ‘convert’. The command will cause your gadget, so you connect to the internet automatically receive the PDF you sent and convert for reading on the reader. Yes, automatically .

What types of files can be opened on Kindle?

Besides PDFs experimentally, can be converted DOC, HTML, JPEG, TXT, GIF, PNG and BMP. Your file is not any of these guys? Use the online programs and the Cloud Convert Convert Online or Calibre software.

Read web articles to your Kindle

HTML can be converted? So that means you can read a web page, say a long article he found online, on Kindle? Save a web page as HTML into your computer and then send it to your email @ kindle. She will continue as formatted in the browser.

Amazon also offers practical Send to Kindle app. Install the program on your browser and when you find an interesting article, press the application button. Ready! He will be waiting for you the reader. But, before you start using it, you will need to authorize the email app on your Amazon account (as I explained there in the beginning).

Create collections

If you like this present writer has little problems ~ ~ and is addicted to books, the best way to not get lost in your digital library is to create collections. For now, as I have not so many files, parted my books to ‘read’, ‘read’, ‘unread’ and ‘work’ (the evidence gained to analyze here in Galileo – by the way, have you read the books section magazine? it is made with the heart.)

Samples are her best friends

Unless you are absolutely certain to buy a particular book, heartily recommend that you download the sample it before making the final transaction. This feature has saved me from polysyllabic frenzy that would cause me to buy books that would forever leaning on my digital bookshelf (or judging me through the collection of ‘unread’).

Read news on your Kindle

Kindle 4rss creates a feed for you with selected links on your Kindle. The free version supports up to 12 sites that show up to 25 articles per issue. Think little? For a subscription of $ 1.99 you are entitled registering 300 sites and have an issue with unlimited number of items.
