Free on Amazon Today

Note: If you are reading this on your Kindle and want to get a book from the Kindle store now, type the title with your Kindle, then press the right hand button in the 5-way area or (if you have a Kindle 2) toggle your 5-way switch to the right until the word store is highlighted. Press in on it to search. When the title comes up, use the 5-way toggle switch to move around the book info area to read more about the book. Make sure it is still free (or an acceptable price) before finally pressing in on the 5-way switch to "buy" it. You can always press the back button (before you press buy) if you change your mind.

And remember... what is FREE today may not be FREE tomorrow, so get it while you can!

Additional Note... The books marked Vook may have audio and video in them and (right now) are only suitable for Kindle software for your iPad or iPhone...maybe the android too, but I haven't verified that.

Ask Mrs. Wizard - More on Formatting

Special Note:
This is a follow up to an email inspired entry from several days ago. Enjoy!
And very special thanks to Tim for these wonderful questions and for letting me know how it all turned out. 
==========

Hi Cindy!

It all took a bit of time but I did get my refund on Ingoldsby Legends in the end! Many thanks for your stimulating advice. I include below the correspondence with Amazon.

I'm sorry to hear about the formatting issue you found with the book "The Ingoldsby Legends" purchased in Order #D01-9392920-6127519.

I've submitted a report to our technical team about this problem and they are looking into the issue.

If you're not able to use the item because of this problem, please let us know if you would like a refund by visiting the link mentioned above. If we refund the item, you will no longer have access to it.

This formatting issue worries me a bit (that’s British understatement for you)  because I have bought several e-books from Amazon which contain an astonishing number of obvious errors, what might be called ‘typing errors’. (E.g. ‘I must have to go to the dentist’ – where the writer obviously couldn’t choose between alternative expressions. Or sometimes words are simply missing, e.g. ‘Suddenly burst into the room!’ Who or what did???) So either the original was not decently edited or the copying was poor. Should one blame the author or the bloke who copied it into e-book format????

Tim

======

Thanks so much for your inspiring questions Tim...

Don't be too hard on the occasional word missing or typo in a Kindle book. I have seen things like that in paper copies too. If you are reading a lot of books from independent authors or even some of the classics that have been reformatted by God only knows who, expect to see even more. They don't have the huge publishing houses with redundant editing and proofreading folks available. I'm sure they do the best they can, but some are certainly going to be better than others. The books in the public domain, like classics and really old books can be reformatted and resold by anyone. This is why you will see several different copies or publications of the same books. I have gotten several that weren't bad, but later found other copies that were much better for one reason or another. The ones with gross formatting errors should be brought to the attention of Amazon, like the one you had. You could also have avoided the issue altogether if you had gotten a sample first. You would have seen the problem right away on your regular Kindle, and that would have determined your purchase (or not). But samples can be a pain too.

Don't let Amazon be your only source, especially for public domain books. Google searches are a great way to turn up other copies, and one of my personal favorites for Kindle friendly files is Manybooks.net. There is always a "better" copy out there... somewhere.

And I certainly appreciate this world library we have at our fingertips, thanks to Google. Manybooks.net is amazing! I'm glad you are enjoying it too. What did we do before our Kindles!

Warmest Regards,

Cindy

Ask Mrs. Wizard - The Bibliophile

Bibliophile : a lover of books especially for qualities of format; also : a book collector

===========

Hello Mrs. Wizard –

I am the happy owner of a new Kindle!  (I just got it today as a gift – the 3G with WiFi!)  I am an unrepentant bibliophile, so this is a Godsend.

Here’s my question, if you can help I would be very grateful.  I will be mostly downloading public domain books.  I was looking at the selection at Many Books, and wondered if I could categorize the titles on my Kindle by genre as well.  For example, can I have a Mystery file and Science Fiction file, etc, or must all titles just be listed on the Titles Page?  If you have any insight on this, I would be very grateful!

Best,

Bob

=============

Omygod! Another bibliophile! You will LOVE your Kindle, and it won't be long before you find yourself wondering what you ever did without one. It is like being able to keep all your best friends (thousands and thousands) close at all times.... wonderful device!

You want to create Collections on your Kindle. Think of them as folders (sort of) and you can organize your books any way you want.Collections aren't just for books you purchase on Amazon. They are for any books the Kindle can display for you, and that includes any you get on Amazon for free, as well as public domain books you acquire elsewhere. Manybooks.net is a wonderful place to find well formatted books to add to your collection on your Kindle.

To create your first Collection on your Kindle, turn it on and make sure the Home screen is displayed.

• Press the Menu button 
• Use the 5-way to move down to the words Create New Collection
• Press in on the center 5-way button to select it
• A new box you can type in will appear at the bottom of your screen
• type in the name for your collection
• Move the 5-way down to the word save so it is highlighted
• Press in on the 5-way to make it happen

To add a book to your collection:

• Right click (with the 5-way button to the right) on your book title from the Home screen
• One of your choices will be Add to Collection
• Press in on the 5 way to select it
• You will then see your Home screen
• Navigate to your new collection name so it is underlined
• When the collection name you want is underlined, you will see the words add to this collection
• press in on the 5 way to make it happen
• Be sure to press the Home key to return to your list of books
• Start the process over to add another book

Warmest Regards and I hope you enjoy your new Kindle!

Cindy

===========

Many, many thanks!

You know, when I moved from one house to another, I had to give away 1800 books.  (Yes, 1800!)  That barely made a dent.  Now I have a house full of books and a Kindle.  I’m so delighted.  I know this sounds ridiculous, but being able to carry a copy of everything and anything from Sax Rohmer to Oscar Wilde with me at all times is very moving.

Many thanks,

Bob

Trust me... I know EXACTLY how you feel!

If it weren't for my bibliophilia, I would probably be perfect :)
