A Day With Kindle and a Free Kindle BookI finally had some time to spend with the Kindle 2 today, and so far I am loving it. Before I get to the positive stuff, I will note the few negatives:1. I wouldn't mind a reading light built in shooting up from the bottom to avoid reflection or glare. 2. The display is perfect for reading. It is not perfect for navigation or motion. A little surprised it hasn't improved more since the first one. 3. Internet is slooow. Nearly unusable slow. So with that in mind, the first thing I would say to a fellow owner is to prepend this to every URL you type into the browser: http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u= it's a Google mobile proxy or something great like that. So if you were visiting here, use http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=gadgetize.com Google trims the fat and gives it to you in a much easier format for the Kindle's browser. That will save bundles of time. I haven't sorted out a reading light yet, but I will. It just seems like something could pop into the USB port at the bottom and shoot onto the screen. Still, I am so glad it is a flat, unlit screen. The e-ink looks fake almost, until you get used to it. I also haven't purchased any books yet. For the moment I am too busy fiddling with the device itself. I did look into what books are available for free, and it turns out there are a lot. Project Gutenberg has a ton of them. The only problem is that they are not formatted the best for the Kindle, having a lot of carriage returns it doesn't need. I started with Moby Dick by Herman Melville-- I cleaned it up, removing page numbers, HTML formatting, and fixing the chapter heads. I ended up with about a 1MB text file (.txt) that looks great and works great on the Kindle. It keeps track of where you are properly and everything. So if anyone wants it, it's free, it's a great book anyway, and it's free. Here's 'Moby Dick.txt' Labels: ebook, kindle, mobile, moby dick

The light has marvelous display and gives a bright light. Electronic gadgets are very essential in various aspects.. Luke Bryan is my favourite US singer. His strong voice takes me away from all troubles of this planet so I start enjoy my life and listen songs created by his voice. Now the singer is going on a tour in 2019. The concerts scheduled for this year, up to the mid-October. Tickets are available for all men and women with different income. If you love country music as mush as I, then you must visit at least one Luke's concert. All tour dates are available at the [url=https://lukebryantourdates.com]lukebryantourdates.com[/url]. Open the website and make yourself familiar with all powerful Luke Bryan concerts in 2019! Florida Georgia Line is my favourite country music band. Headliners Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley are those guys that could make anyone sing along with them. That's why I like to attend their concerts. And - that's surprisingly wonderful - in 2019 they have CAN'T SAY IT AIN'T COUNTRY TOUR which covers all the USA towns and cities.
