I don't suppose anyone fancies sharing any of their books do they? I'm after Terry Pratchett books. I have mainly horror, medical thrillers, murders etc if that's any help to anyone. Oh, and a lot of cook books!

I didn't know you could share Kindle books, I thought they were stored in your personal Amazon account, you can't even gift books yet, you have to buy vouchers.

I think you can send them to another one via the kindle email if it's on your "trusted list" of email addy's.

the amazon one is good for a low cost one with this you get e ink display which it high contrast display and crisp text it holds 1,400 books if you are using it on your boat, you get up to one month on a single charge, no need for a computer, you can adjust the text side so no strain on your eyes. it has free cloud backup which automatically backs up your books so you'll never lose your book built in dictionary you can email your documents to it most do this but why pay £140 for something you can get for £89 cheaper again if you shop around  up downfall is theres no text to speech for this as of yet (it reads the book to you)

only if its the 3g one lord of the m53 and it said above that it was the none 3g one that Wench had bought.
yes poodlepup you can download them using a dongle or opt for a 3g version and due to arrangments that amazon have with some of the biggest telephone networks in the world you can use 3g for free.

Are book illustrations and charts etc., only displayed in black and white?
Was just wondering if you bought an e-book or magazine via kindle, would you lose out on colour?
