Googling with your Kindle

Originally posted February 26, 2010 by Cindy O'Neal 

A successful Google search all depends on what words you use. Make it short and sweet and to the point. The Kindle is a great search tool. It's Whispernet connection is good just about anywhere. If you have your Kindle handy, you have access to Google.

Just for giggles, grab your Kindle and turn it on. Type these words...

recipe chocolate chip cookies

...just like that... no punctuation, no capital letters, just the words.

Then toggle the 5-way controller switch to the right until Google is highlighted. Press in the 5-way switch and give your Kindle a few seconds... Is this not the neatest thing since homemade bread or what? Use the Next Page or Prev Page buttons to see your choices. Use the 5-way controller (up or down) to select the recipe link you want to peruse. Press in on it to make your selection. Then prop your Kindle up on the kitchen counter and go for it!

You don't need a fancy recipe book when you have the entire Internet in your hands.
There are only these few steps to searching Google with your Kindle. If you aren't satisfied with your first results, type in a different set of words. You will be searching like a pro in no time. If you would like to go beyond the basics in the searching arena, try these words for your next Kindle/Google search...
