BEA'S BOOK NOOK "I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once." C. S. Lewis “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” ― Oscar Wilde

Borrow Bea's Kindle Books!

Bea's Book Nook, Kindle, loan, books

I have a large collection of Amazon Kindle books that can be loaned. One of the disadvantages of ebooks is that often they aren't lendable but there are some publishers and self-published authors who are savvy enough to make their books lendable. And really, borrowing someone's book, or sharing your book, is a great way to try a new author, series, or genre.

For years I've had a shelf at Goodreads labelled "Kindle books to lend" so I could loan friends a book. But I have hundreds and only a few have been borrowed so I decided to open it up to readers of the blog. Check out my shelf at Goodreads to see if there are any books you are interested in. I try to keep the list up-to-date and *try* to remember to remove a book once I've loaned it out. To borrow one of my books, message me at Goodreads or email me at beasbooknook@gmail.com. Put "Borrow Kindle Book" in the subject line.

If I lend you the book, (and as long as you are polite with your request, and the book is lendable, I will lend it), you will get an email from Amazon informing you of the loan. You have 7 days to accept the loan or lose it. The loan period is typically 14 days but is set by the publisher so it may vary. At the end of the loan period, the book disappears from your Kindle device or app and cannot be renewed. If you happen to make any notes or highlights and end up buying the book, Amazon says those will be in your purchased copy. 


ETA: On the 14th of September, I was able to successfully lend a book to Line in Norway. So, even if you don't live in the US, hit me up and let's give it a try!

Happy reading!

Sending Books to Your Kindle - Do You Know How?

Kindle, directions, info, Bea's Book NookKindle, directions, info, Bea's Book Nook

Recently, I've gotten into convos with people on Twitter and Facebook who were having trouble sending files to their Kindles. After the last conversation, I decided maybe I'd write up a post. Jax has a Nook, and she's working up a post for Nook users.

There are several options for sending a file to the Kindle besides downloading directly from Amazon: email a PDF or Word Doc directly to a Kindle, email a PDF or Word Doc for conversion to mobi format, drag a file via USB, and use the Send to Kindle app. There are advantages to each method.

Review: Kindle Fire HD Origami Case

Back before Christmas I splurged and got a 7" Fire HD tablet for half price including tax. At the time I didn't have the funds to also get a cover but I knew I wanted one, to keep my investment safe. Recently I bought one and I included it in my Sunday Book Share post. It generated a lot of interest so I thought I'd do a review of it.

The model I ordered was the Amazon Kindle Fire HD Standing Polyurethane Origami Case* in purple for the new 7" Fire HD so let me start with the fit. It's a very snug fit and I had some trouble getting my Fire to fit in it. Besides being a tight fit, I was working with an injured hand and I think that contributed to my difficulties getting the cover on. Since it is such a tight fit, if you anticipate removing your tablet on a regular basis, this might not be the best style for you. The cover is also available for the larger, 8.9" Fire HD* and both sizes are available in leather* or polyurethane in different colors. I opted for the poly as it's cheaper and should be easy to keep clean. When the case is closed the Fire is completely covered except for the ports for the charger and the earphones. The case uses magnets to seal closed and so far it has not opened accidentally.

Broken Kindle = Crazy Bea


 
Amazon Kindle
Amazon Kindle (Photo credits: Best Buy)

My Kindle Touch has not been working properly recently - sluggish, freezing, and now, it won't open books. I have 3 kindle books that I need to write reviews for and I can't open them. None of them came from Amazon, they came from outside sources, so I can't access them on the Kindle app on my laptop. I've read them but I took notes which I now can't access nor can I verify to make sure that I have my facts right. I'll type up drafts but I need to refer back to the books.

I spent almost 90 minutes on phone with Amazon tonight - we did many things, none of which worked but we DID manage to delete all of my folders and to download all 1000+ books onto the Kindle device. I no longer have any books archived in the cloud. The search function isn't working. I'm feeling a little nuts right now. :P

At the moment, I have a customer service ticket with Amazon and they will call me back within 48 hours. Twitch, twitch. Well, I do have a pile of library books to read, and print books that need reviewing, but being cut off from my Kindle books has me feeling antsy and anxious. I need my precious!




ETA 10/19: As of yesterday, Friday afternoon, my Kindle was working again. I turned it on to fiddle around with it and everything was fine - my collections were back, I could open the books, and it was running less slowly though it's still sluggish. I haven't yet heard back from Amazon, and I don't know what the problem was with my Kindle. I hope it continues to work.
