Kindle News - Less Expensive Kindle

I haven't said too much about the new $114 Kindle because I haven't decided if having advertising on it is really worth the $$ you will be saving. A lot of people are accepting it because according to The Bookseller it is the best selling Kindle yet. They are about to offer the Kindle DX at a reduced price if you want to take advantage of the Special Offers.

Amazon really seems to have something here! But anyone with a Kindle already knows that.

Kindle Skills - Keep It Clean

You have probably noticed your Kindle is quite a conversation starter when you have it out and about with you. People want to touch it, and of course you, the proud owner will want to show it off.

You also know hands can be a heck of a way to share not so nice things. It wouldn't hurt to wipe down your Kindle when you return home from your outing.

I keep a small spritzer bottle filled with alcohol close to my computer. Spritz a little on a dry lint-free cloth, then use it to wipe down your Kindle. It works like a charm and won't damage the surface or keys. This is also great to wipe down your keyboard whenever you turn your computer off, and even works good as a quick wipe down for your monitor.

Ask Mrs. Wizard - Calibre Updates

Good Afternoon Cindy,
I trust you had a wonderful Mother's Day along with Teacher Appreciation Week. You are a fantastic teacher and we are grateful for you assistance.
Here is my latest question: I started using Calibre system in October and they have had several updates since then. Once you upgrade Calibre system should I delete the previous Calibre listings or just leave all Calibre listings alone?
Calibre is fantastic and I have over 600 books on my Kindle now and have only purchased 12. Thanks Mrs. Wizard!!
Thanks for your help!
Rhonda
=====================
Thank you for your very kind words Rhonda. I am so glad you are enjoying Calibre too!
Just leave the listings alone and update the software whenever it offers. I haven't had any trouble with mine at all (knock wood)... and it never even occurred to me to get rid of the original listings... I don't think you can even do that without deleting the source files... and you sure don't want to do that.

Your numbers are very similar to mine! Ain't the Kindle GREAT!

Warmest Regards,
Cindy
