My New Kindle Paperwhite.

[NoshowJones]

I have bought a new Kindle Paperwhite, it is great, and I am enjoying it very much.

The thing is there are some things I want to do, but I find the instructions very complicated.

I am reasonably computer literate, but I need some help, things like transferring things from

my Kindle to my computer and vice versa, ie the first time something will work, the second time it

will not. What does the Cloud mean? How do I transfer things from the Cloud to On My Device?

I live upcountry but will be in Pattaya early next month if anyone knows of anyone there who can help.

Thank you.

After you have attached the kindle to the computer and got it to recognize the kindle as a usb device, if you then detach it without unmounting it, the usb software on the kindle may not successfully do the handshaking the next time to connect them. The solution is to safely unmount the kindle before detaching it and/or reboot one or both of the computer and kindle.

That was a help. thank you, it did explain about the cloud and device up to a point which is not well explained in the instructions.

[NoshowJones]

I used to have the details, the percentage of time left till the book is finished, the number of hours left to finish the book,

at the bottom corner of each page, now they have disappeared.

The video a kind poster put up for me only shows so much, there is things I need to know which are not on the video, anyone help please?

To get back the info at the bottom of the page, just touch the bottom of the page.

I highly recommend that you download and install a program called "Calibre". It will hold your books in libraries, covert one format to another and many other options. And best of all it's a doddle moving ebooks to and from your Kindle, which is called a device in Calibre because it copes well with other e-readers. All file names, library names etc are defined by you.

Because I have over 12,000 ebooks on my computer, and that's low compared to some, I have five libraries, ie fiction a-m, fiction n-z, sci-fi a-m, sci-n-z and one called read-already. a-m etc is the surname of the author. After I copy a book to my Kindle I then move it from the (say) fiction a-m library to the read-already library. Easy in Calibre.

Do note that if you are still running Windows XP you'll need an earlier version of Calibre, not the latest.

Very strong 2d of lungbing recommendation for Calibre as great for Kindle. Easy to keep your library and transfer back and forth to computer/Cloud.

Re page info on bottom, tap the top of the page to make the bar appear, then select the thre bar item on extreme right, which brings up a menu whence the 2d item from the bottom is "Reading Progress". Tap that to get a popup menu with a line "Location in book", taping which that will give you info on the bottom.

I finally got my Nook Ereader last week and I find that when I plug it into my PC it works instantly. I download direct from my Ebook library on the PC to my Nook simply by clicking on an author or section of the library and click on > send to MyNook.

I then open a new shelf for the authors name then run through the books and tick the author and when I have finished I click on save and the books are in a seperate section under the authors name.

Easy peasy to do.

I have around 500 books on there already which is the equivalent of the 2 overflowing book cases in my bedroom.

I got the one with a 16Gb internal memory and I can expand it simply by plugging in a mini usb card.

I connect to the PC by the 32 pin connector or by WiFi and in addition to reading I can also watch movies and play games should I wish to.

Here is a link.

Bought two via Ebay UK. The first came from Japan (left it on the roof of the truck whilst loading up, then drove off,) the second from Australia. Around 4,500 baht each inc EMS. No customs duties, one was labelled "gift", and the other "documents". Both were 2nd gen, with Wikipedia.

I'm not even reasonably computer literate, but I found the user guide comprehensive, and had no problems.

I just bought a new 6" Kindle Paperwhite from Amazon USA and can confirm that cmrichsw's asking price is very reasonable. I paid $119 for the device, plus $14.98 tax, plus $8.51 for special two-day shipment to a friends house in Arizona, for a total of $142.48. With today's exchange rate, that's slightly greater than 5,000 baht.

+1.Bought one from Richard as well, very good price ( reader+case+film), very satisfied.

In America, you can get new kindlewhite and cover for under $100 USD. So check facebook for deals....groups selling used or new stuff.

it's great....just takes some playing around before you get the hang of it.

That must be the wi-first only (no global 3g) and at the price includes Amazon's "special offers" advertising every time you turn it on. What happens with it when you register it with Amazon outside the the US?

Just looked and a paperwhite with 3g and no special offers shipped to Thailand is $255, including $21 shipping and $23 estimated custom duties.
