Kindle & Amazon Whispernet

Postby themagicwand » Dec 14th, '09, 17:03



Anyone any experience of buying ebooks from Amazon, or more importantly selling them via Amazon??

And also, what's a Kindle? Is it an ebook reader?

Yes - http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic33192.php

No experience buying and selling via Whispernet though.

The Kindle is an e-book reader, but it is not being pushed heavily over here. The Sony reader is more popular here, I think. It is not difficult to convert a document such as one of your books into the format for the e-book reader. I would love to be able to purchase good magic downloads in a format suitable for e-book readers (PDFs are not suitable).

Yeah, that's a big problem. I'd love to play with one and see what all the hype is about, but you have to order it online. I don't want to order one online, I don't want to even buy one, I just want to know what it's like dammit!!
