KINDLE BOOKS FOR NON-KINDLE OWNERS
Posted on November 19th, 2010 by Joy Schwabach
Now you can give a Kindle book to someone who doesn’t have a Kindle e-reader. Kindle books can be read on the iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone, Mac, PC, Blackberry and Android phone.There are over 750,000 digital books available at Amazon. We’re more likely to use the new gift service, however, for friends who do have Kindles. Before, if you wanted to give a fellow Kindle owner a digital book, you’d be stuck with sending a gift certificate. Now you can click on a Kindle edition and select “Give as a Gift.” Notifications of Kindle book gifts are delivered instantly by e-mail. For more information, go to www.amazon.com/givekindlebooks.

We took the new Aluratek Libre eBook Reader on a recent trip to rural New York. It can easily fit in a jacket pocket or small purse, and comes with 100 free books already onboard. The key difference between the Aluratek and earlier readers like the Kindle and Nook, is that they can be used to download books by wireless. The Aluratek cannot connect to a wireless source. All books or lectures must be downloaded to its memory directly from a computer. This is a big difference, so to sweeten the pot, Aluratek comes with 100 free books already onboard. These include classics like “Dracula,” “Walden Pond,” “War and Peace” and so on. Joy is hooked on a Norwegian classic: […]
