11 things you'd love to know about Amazon's Kindle 

1) 'Ear we go! You already know Kindle is an e-book reader. Well, Kindle is also an audiobook reader. And it is an MP3 player too. It has a headphone jack and speakers. If you go to Audible.com you can buy audiobooks. Special software is available for download especially for your Kindle allowing you to connect to and purchase directly from their website.

Oh, and by the way, while reading you can also listen to music too. Cool or what!

2) Spelling not your thing? Well the Kindle comes with The New Oxford American Dictionary! But if you want another dictionary you can purchase it from Amazon.com. Then, via an option setting, simply inform your Kindle that this other new dictionary is now your favourite one.

3) Want to get in on the action before everyone else? You sound like me! Well, not only can you subscribe to magazines and newspapers, your subscriptions arrive hours or sometimes days before regular print subscribers get theirs!

4) Charged up and ready to go? Well good! Because a single charge only takes 2 hours and you can read for about 2 days on that! But here's a little tip for you - you can read every day for more than 7 days on a single charge if you turn off the wireless feature!

5) Can't be RSS'd? For each RSS feed subscription Amazon charges $2 per month. But! If you go to Kindle's web browser you can read any RSS for free, including the ones usually charged for, by visiting the sites directly!

6) Missing your doggy dog-ears? To bookmark your pages you can "dog ear" them, save your notes and save copies of whole pages otherwise known as "clippings" on your Kindle. These are all backed up as part of your books. But there's more! If you want to "highlight" text you can do this too. It's a bit like using a highlighter pen just not so bright. Whatever you highlight can also be backed up.

Has this Amazon Kindle review fired you up? Good! Read on for more Amazon Kindle hacks.

7) Feeling creative? Well you can also write book reviews on the Kindle Store using its keyboard and wireless connection. The Kindle Store is pretty much similar to the Amazon bookstore in terms of functionality.

8) Scared of upgrading? Well don't be because Amazon holds a copy of all your subscriptions online so you won't lose books, magazines or newspapers if you happen to replace or upgrade your beloved Kindle. Plus the Kindle also wirelessly and automatically does an online back up of all your clippings, notes and bookmarks.

9) Surf me, baby! Did you know you can actually surf the good old World Wide Web on your Kindle? In general, via the Kindle's free wireless connection it can access Amazon.com and the Web to search Wikipedia. But, you can surf the whole Web using the Kindle's very own Web browser called Basic Web. This supports cookies, JavaScript and SSL. Using Basic Web you can surf the Web like you would on a normal computer.

10) Want more, more, more? From Amazon.com you can download and read any of the 120,000 Amazon kindle books This list is growing too! But if you want more, you can download free e-books using the Kindle's Web browser. This a much larger selection too! And most of these are in Kindle-friendly .MOBI and .PRC formats.

If you prefer text-based books these are available too. These tend to look pretty awful in text-format, so you can convert them. Convert them to .MOBI and .PRC formats using tools on your PC which are readily available for free or minimal cost, online.

11) Shhhh, don't tell anyone! Kindle connects free to Whisper (Sprint's EV-DO 3G network). In some areas Whisper isn't available, so the Kindle will get you connected via a second protocol called 1xRTT. This is good news for you because the adding of 1xRTT increases the number of areas where you get wireless access. Yippee!

So, I hope this has all been useful information and you have enjoyed reading my Amazon Kindle review.
