‘Brazilian literature is not yet in digital,’ says the Award winning Kindle – Portal Uai (press release) (Subscription) (Blog)

The traditional and the modern can be antag�nicos v�rivers contexts, but, through�s of the creativity of the mining Gisele Mirabai, the two mingled and gave birth to a prize-winning work. Gisele won the Pr�mio Kindle of Literature, organized by the Amazon in partnership with the Nova Fronteira publishing house. The t�title awarded in digital format was Field, a hist�ria about mem�rias and places. The odd term has african origin. "In the language of the bantu, farm means farm, s�uncle or ch�guy," explains the author, who has lived in S�the Paul h� tr�s years. Although the meaning designate a place, Field �, in fact, the main character, who receives the nickname of a friend still in the inf�shall, on the farm where he grew up.

Reflex�es
The narrative goes on years after the fact, when the girl, j� adult, lives in London and, during travel through places hist�rich of the continent of europe, he ends up reconnecting with her past in the interior of the Mine and building the reflex�es about the meaning of pr�own life. "She goes by the Gr�cia, Turkey, Israel and Egypt and, to see the uk�in these locations, will see his past and discovers what has happened in your life to split it in two, as if it were a missing link", defines Gisele.

The regress�es offered by the tour take the character back � inf�of on the Farm Enfiandeiras, pr�town-the Itabirito, in the Region�the Central Mine. By l�, the girl alternated moments of leisure between the reading on civilizes��es old beside his father, and the banter fanciful with the son of the caretaker, the boy who had given her the nickname.

in Spite of everything sound like a hist�the ria and near-real-biogr�is, She ensures that she and the protagonist n�the s�the same person, even if there is a strong rela��es between the two. "I j� I lived in London, the places that I describe s�the places where I have stayed, the journey that she makes, I also�m I, and the farm of his inf�of exists and belongs to an aunt of mine, � a place where I spent my inf�of, but the character, his personality and the events s�the fully fict�cios," he says.

"The book works much in the simb�lico, n�the � a narrative cl�classic, the hist�ria takes a moment and opens it to the m�maximum possible�manual transmission, n�the following order cronol�gica. The past going to the front of the gift will going to meet him." The description��the writer about your pr�prio text illustrates also�m the process by which the work went on to win the contest.

Platform
Field was chosen as the best among 2 thousand books posted on the digital platform Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) from Amazon. Gra�the � partnership with the New Frontier, it must be published in vers�the printed brief. The opposite way to that normally � practiced, with the t�titles originally lan�ados in a paper and going digital then.

Gisele, who eats�or writing Field in 2009, if you feel happy with the recognition. "Still est� dropping the sheet, I really wanted him to be a reading of quality and a good publish��, I have enjoyed very � language, I tried to do something original. � a sensa��the very good recognition of the work", she declares.

Al�m of the rewards��the Amazon, accompanied by the publica��the printed and of a sum of money, the author can closely monitor the recognition of the readers, gra�to the digital format in which the book was lan�ado. "It has been a �the last surprise, � very good to have the contact with the evaluates��es who l� and j� put what he found, al�m be possible�manual transmission to see how many p�pages people est�the reading of your book and on which days. In printed, n�the we have idea of that," says Gisele.

The modern format of publishes��the and reading, al�m have been on the path to this recognition in his career as a writer, also�m awakened in belo-horizontina the interest in extending the collection of the national literature in the format: "Studying the platform of Amazon, I saw that the brazilian literature is still n�the est� l� in digital format. This uni�the Amazon with the New Frontier, which � specialist publish cl�ssicos, can be �timo for our reading."

award-Winning in digital and with the proposal of lan�air your book on paper, she n�makes you choose for one of them and thicken the chorus of those who understand that the two formats s�the fully possible�levels together, and that who wins � the reader. "A n�excludes the other, � a sum, the digital book � for you� take for the trip, to read on the metro�, in �coaches, or to make a query r�pida to a theme, while the f�sico � to be l�, make use of the other senses, the paper will always continue," argues the writer, and writer for 36 years, that j� had published other tr�s books before Field: the infantojuvenis Warrior of Gaia and Born to be Madonna, al�m free Man: around the world on a bicycle, in that it describes the journey institute for development support�information of the husband for 59 pa�ses.

Obama filled the Kindle with books for his daughter, and that says everything – Dallas News

The first time I met Barack Obama was in early 2006, when he was still a U. S. senator.

He had come to Cincinnati to help out my husband, Sherrod Brown, in Sherrod”s campaign to join him in the Senate. I sat next to Obama during breakfast, before he took the stage. Almost immediately, our conversation turned to the isolation and accuracy necessary for the writer’s life.

He was in the final edits for his second book, “The Audacity of Hope,” which would become the best-selling book later that year and set the stage for his presidential race. What I remember most during our conversation was the look on his face, as well as the language he used, as he described his writing habits. The writer can usually tell when someone lay claim to the profession is faking it. Barack Obama was the real deal.

He talked about the quiet, anonymous space of air travel, when he could write without interruption. We commiserated about the challenge of finding that perfect word — and many times, there is that one perfect word — which too often eludes us writers until 3 in the morning, when we sit up like a sprung jackknife and claw in the dark for paper and a pen.

He asked about my writing habits and leaned in with the face of the person listening hard. I have little recollection of what I told him, beyond my sharing that I read everything out loud before hitting “send.” But I vividly recall sitting there listening to him and thinking, This is a man who loves the written word.

The New York Times’ chief book critic, Michiko Kakutani, recently interviewed Obama about how reading and writing fundamentally shaped him as a man and as a president.

An excerpt:

During his eight years in the White House — in the noisy era of information overload, extreme partisanship and knee-jerk reactions — books were the sustaining source of ideas and inspiration, and gave him a renewed appreciation for the complexities and ambiguities of the human condition.

“At a time when events move so quickly and so much information is transmitted,” he said, reading gave him the ability to occasionally slow down and get perspective” and “the ability to get in somebody else’s shoes.” These two things, he added, “have been invaluable to me. Whether they’ve made me a better president I can’t say. But what I can say is that they have allowed me to sort of maintain my balance during the course of eight years, because this is the place that comes at you hard and fast and doesn’t let up.”

Obama offered titles of books that have moved or influenced him in some way and told Kakutani that he recently gave his elder daughter, Malia, the Kindle filled with books he wanted to share with her. Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude is one. The Golden Notebook, by Doris Lessing, is another. Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, too.

I was fine, just fine, until I read about that Kindle.

For weeks now, I’ve been taking in the final round of coverage of this president and his family with the measured response. After every story, every video clip, I take a deep breath and move on.
This is part of what it means to live in America, I’ve reminded myself countless times since the election. Every presidency arrives with an expiration date. Eight years max and he — so far, always he — is out of there.

I have not always agreed with President Barack Obama, which is also part of what it means to live in America. We elect humans, not saints. There are bound to be disappointments.

Never, however, have I doubted Obama’s commitment to our country. Not once have I looked at him and worried about what the rest of the world must think of us for having elected him. I have trusted him to understand that his every move, his every word, reflects on all of us. If my working-class mother had lived to see President Obama, she would have said he knows how to represent.

Our president gave his teenage daughter a Kindle, and he filled it with books. That small yet enormous detail brings it home. There is no replacing this president, and what comes next is sinking in. The distance between what was and what will be seems so vast.

“Oh, well,” Brave Orchid says in The Woman Warrior. “We’re all under the same sky and walk the same earth; we’re alive together during the same moment.”

"Field" if it differs from these by being a fictional story is not recommended for children. The book is about a girl who learns to travel and discover ancient civilizations. The part is not fictional of the work is on account of the scenery and ruins that the author actually knew, and the junction which makes it solid the strongest longings of Gisele: write and travel.

"I always liked to travel very much, but this not only it was enough for me.

"I had a lot of affection and very careful with it. And once completed, after six months of dedication, I went after the publishers. But in all that I looked or I had no answer, or the book was rejected", she recalls.

Now, with the prize in hand – and the reference as the first author to win the award – the work of Gisele can no longer be ignored.

In the coming months, it will be possible to find "Field" of the classic, in the bookstores, published by the New Border.

How To Get Google Play On The Kindle Fire And Install Any Android App You Want – Lifehacker Australia

Kindle Fire tablets are some of the best, cheapest Android tablets around, but they’re limited to Amazon’s app store, which is more than lacking compared to the thousands of apps available on the Google Play Store. With a little tweaking, though, you can run any Android app on them. You can even get the entire Google Play Store on some devices.

What You’ll Need

Amazon’s Fire tablets are based on the de-Googled version of Android, but under the hood they’re still pretty similar. This makes it pretty easy to install Android apps on your tablet, but some ways are easier than others. We’re going to cover two ways to do this. the Method #1 involves downloading the Android APK installer files and installing them directly. the Method #2 will install the entire Google Play Store, which you can use like you would on a normal Android phone. This method is a bit more complicated, but it will make it much easier to install any app you want. Plus it will give you the Google Play Services that you’ll need for most Google apps. Here’s what you’ll need for both methods:

• The Kindle Fire Tablet: For method #1, you can use any Kindle tablet. We tested this method on an old 2nd generation 7″ Kindle and it worked. For method #2, you’ll need a 4th generation Kindle Fire or higher that’s been updated to Fire THE 5.
• Android APKs (Method #1): If you want to install apps manually, you’ll need to get the APK from somewhere. APKs are files that Android uses to install apps, similar to .exe files in Windows. We’ll cover a few ways to get APKs, but if you have an Android phone that already has the app you want on your Fire tablet, it may come in handy.
• Windows PC (Method #2): To install the Play Store on your device, you’ll need to connect it to a Windows PC with a USB-to-micro-USB cable.
• ADB (Method #2): ADB is a powerful tool in the Android developer’s kit that lets you run commands on an Android device from your computer. You can download a small version of the tool from XDA here and install it in just a couple clicks. We have a full step-by-step guide here you should follow first. Once you have ADB, come back.
• RootJunky’s SuperTool (Method #2): This tool will install the drivers you need on your computer to connect ADB to your tablet, then it will install the Google Play Store. If your Fire tablet is running Fire OS 5.3.1 or later, download the .zip file named Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip from here. If you’re on an older version, grab Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-SuperTool-old.zip from here. If you’re not sure which version you’re on, open the Settings app on the main screen of your Kindle, scroll to Device Options, and tap “System Updates.” Your version number should be at the top.

The process may be slightly different, depending on your device. Let’s get started.

Method #1: Download and Install Android Apps Manually

Since the Kindle Fire tablets run a version of Android, you can manually install Android apps. First, you’ll need to tweak the setting so you can install apps from outside Amazon’s app store. To get started, follow these steps:

1. Scroll through the apps section of your Kindle and open Settings.
2. Tap Security.
3. Enable the toggle that says “Apps from Unknown Sources.”

After that, you can install any app’s the APK you want, like the official Gmail app, Google Maps, or even Pokémon Go (assuming you have the model with GPS). First, you’ll need to find some. Free apps are easy to find around the web, but paid apps come with copy protection, so the easiest option there is to buy the app and install it on another Android device first.. Here are a few ways to get the ones you’re looking for:

• Find popular apps on APK Mirror. This site hosts hundreds of apps from Google, Facebook, Samsung, and many others. Each APK is scanned to verify they’re safe. Best of all, older versions of the app are archived, so you can find the version that works for your device. This is particularly handy for Kindle owners since the latest version of Fire OS is based on the older Android Lollipop.
• Use APK Downloader to pull apps from the Google Play Store. We’ve covered APK Downloader before, and it’s one of the easiest ways to get APKs. Simply go to an app’s Play Store listing on the web and grab the app”s package name from the address bar (the part that looks like “with.xxxx.xxxx”) and click “Generate Download Link.” Download the APK, transfer it to your Kindle, and you can install it.
• Extract APKs from your own Android device. Since paid apps are protected, most APK extracting tools won’t touch them. However, you can do it yourself. Use an app like Astro File Manager to create a backup of an app you already installed on your phone. Slide out the left-hand navigation panel Astro and tap the tools icon, tap the App Mgr, and choose the app you want to move to your Kindle. Next, tap Backup. This will create a copy of the APK file on your phone in a folder labelled “backups.” Copy the backed up file to your Kindle and open it to install it.

Once you’ve downloaded an APK file, you should see a notification in your shade that says your download is complete. Tap it to install the file. If you missed the notification, open the Silk Browser app, tap the menu button and tap Downloads. You should be able to find your APK file there.

This method will work sometimes, but keep in mind that a lot of apps require the Google Play Services framework for critical features like location services, account login, and payment tools. Some, especially Google’s apps won’t even install or launch without this framework installed and running first. If an app you need is broken or won’t launch, try installing the Play Store with method #2.

Method #2: Install the Google Play Store

Installing the full Google Play Store is the best way to get Android apps on your Kindle tablet over the long term. You don’t have to download them one at a time, and anytime you need to install one, you can just open the store and grab it. You’ll also get Google Play Services, which means more apps will work with it. However, this method is also more complicated, and you’ll need to be comfortable with the command line.

You should also try to do this the early as possible if you have the new Fire tablet. Amazon automatically applies system updates when you’re not using your tablet device, and this method may not work with newer versions of Fire OS. Fortunately, RootJunky’s tool can block future updates, but it’s best to get started with a fresh device running 5.3.1 or earlier if possible. Mine worked on version 5.3.2.1, but future updates may break this tool. If you already have a tablet or if it’s already updated, give it a shot, but you might encounter some bugs.

To get started, you’ll need to enable developer options. Here’s how:

1. From the Home screen, scroll down and tap the Settings app.
2. Tap Device Options.
3. Tap Serial Number seven times. The pop-up notification should say “You are now a developer!”
4. new menu option named Developer Options should appear beneath the Serial Number. Tap it.
5. Tap the toggle that reads “Enable ADB.”

For the next part, you’ll need to have ADB installed on a Windows PC. Find the RootJunky SuperTool you downloaded earlier (if you’re running 5.3.1 or later-get it here, for older versions to get it here) , then follow these steps:

1. Connect your Fire tablet to your PC with the micro USB cable.
2. Extract the contents of the SuperTool .zip file to their own folder.
3. Launch the batch file named 1-Install-Play-Store-in-the SuperTool folder.
4. When the program finishes loading, you’ll see a menu like the one above. Type 1 is “ADB driver install” and press Enter.
5. Here, you can confirm whether ADB is working. Type 2 is “ADB driver test” and press Enter to test your ADB connection.
6. If the app says the test failed, type 1 is “ADB driver install” to install the necessary drivers on your PC to connect to ADB with your Fire tablet.
7. Once you’re finished, you will be returned to the main menu. Type 2 is “Install the Google Play store and remove ads from the lock screen.”
8. After the installation is finished, you should be back at the main menu.
9. (Optional) Type 3 is the “block OTA updates from Amazon.” This will prevent an automatic update from breaking your apps.
10. Once you’re finished, restart your device immediately.

You should now see the Play Store listed in your apps section. The first time you install an app that uses Google Play Services, you’ll get the notification to download that as well. Once that’s finished, you can download any app from the store just like it’s a normal Android device.

However, you may notice a few bugs. In my testing, I found that Gmail and Google Maps worked fine, but Inbox crashed as soon as I opened it. Also, even though I was logged into my Google account, the Play Store didn’t recognise some paid apps I already bought. Your experience may differ depending on which device you use and which version of Fire OS you’re running.

---

The Kindle Fire tablets are powerful little devices that are dirt cheap. Even if you bought yours just to read books, the Play Store will unlock a lot of potential you never knew was there. Enjoy your new, more powerful tablet.
