Very Professional - Excellent Reference
I purchased another similar ebook that I thought would give me a few more tips beyond the User Manual. It did not. I was hesitant about this one, but had the sample sent to my Kindle. I'm glad I did!
Jim Cheshire has written what amounts to the "unofficial" official guide to the Kindle with "Decoding The Kindle." I learned some tips and tricks that have proved invaluable. I highly recommend Cheshire's professional and helpful ebook - it's well worth the money.
Skip the Kindle Manual and Read This Instead!
This book covers everything in the Kindle manual and a whole lot more. It goes into things in much more detail and the illustrations are very helpful. I thought I really knew my Kindle but this book has really helped me to go beyond what I had been using my Kindle for. The author's writing style is easy to read and you can tell he's an enthusiastic Kindle user too. Definitely worth the low cost if you want to get the most out of your Kindle investment.
A clear, concise guide to the Kindle
Jim Cheshire's Decoding the Kindle is a clearly written and accessible guide to navigating all the features of the Amazon Kindle.
His instructions are easy to understand, even for those who are not "techies". The material is well-organized and the Kindle format can be searched, so finding the answer to a specific question is a snap.
I will keep it on my Kindle to refer to again and again.
My only suggestion (being the bargain-hunter I am) would be to include more resources for no-cost, public domain content. However, such resources are available on the Internet if you look.
All in all, Decoding the Kindle is well worth the purchase.
Very Helpful
I've had my Kindle since last spring and all that I had basically done was read books and buy them from Amazon. Since reading this guide, I've discovered all kinds of neat tricks the Kindle will do. This is a very good resource and easy to follow along. This has really helped me to improve my Kindling. I recommend it to all Kindle users.
Not much better than the user manual
I thought from the title "Decoding the Kindle" that this book would significantly provide above and beyond what I could read in the Kindle manual. However, that was not the case. If you remove what's duplicated in the Kindle manual, you're really not left with much extra content.
