Not worth the price There was only one thing useful that I found in this book, a link to Stanza Desktop, and one thing interesting, a link to a site to see how to take your Kindle apart. Other than that everything else can be found for free with an hour of googling.
Definitely not worth $4.99.
Good, but nothing special. If you do not want to spend time looking for these tips online, the book is both good and cheap. It draws out important parts of the user's guide and adds in much not contained there. However, it does not significantly add to the knowledge you can gain by doing a few web searches. Of course, if you want the ease and convenience of just having those tips on your Kindle, this is not bad. In retrospect, I am not sure if I should have purchased it, but that is only because I have done further research online.
Don't waste your money This cookbook should say that it's been written for Windows. I know the price is low, but without any graphics, it's very hard to follow the instructions.
The Kindle 2 Cookbook this is a great book for us that do not understand the computor world. Very simple instructions. I would highly recomend it for anyone who purchases a kindle 2.
good reference tool This is a good reference tool to store on your Kindle. But in a certain sense it is a complicated effort to make the Kindle be more than it is. It outlines dozens of multi-step operations to add elements to the device to make it do more--almost function as a computer. My netbook is for that! What's great about the Kindle as Amazon ships it is the ease of downloading books in a few seconds--instant gratification after you've read the the sample. Personally, I'd rather spend my time reading than going through all these machinations to make the Kindle do more. I applaud the author for creativity and all the time he spent on these "recipes." It's great to have as a reference though, so go for it--the price is right.
