Kindle files on the Eee PC 900: Has anyone out there done this?
643846
If you're using a SD card there should be no reason why you can't transfer files that way. Both devices have a SD reader. I don't have a Eee PC, but I suspect that you shouldn't have a problem connecting a kindle directly to it. The Kindle connects to Windows as if it is a USB thumb drive with no special software. Most likely Linux will also view the Kindle as a USB drive. I've never had problems with getting other versions of Linux to mount a USB drive, so I don't think this one will be any different.

Eh, yes and no. It's not like the Kindle where you purchase the book right there and its on the device - to get a book from Amazon, you would have to download it to your PC, use a program such as Calibre to convert it to another format (not sure if Calibre will strip DRM or not), and transfer it to the device. Kobo has their own bookstore built into the device and into the Kobo desktop software. It works pretty well and has pretty much every book I have ever searched for. However, I should warn you that I have had issues with DRM on the device - not just with the Kobo store, but with Adobe DRM which is supposed to work with the device This device is really ideal, in my opinion, for someone who is a bit more technically minded. It is easily mountable on a PC as a USB storage device, Calibre works flawlessly with it, it has SD card expansion slot, and it supports all the major eBook formats. If you like a device with a bit of flexibility (but requiring a bit of tech knowledge), this device is a great money saver. If you want something that is going to work flawlessly with the Amazon Kindle store and not give you any fits, I recommend actually getting a Kindle. Its like asking what the difference between an Android and an iPhone is. One is easy to use, but is limited (Kindle). The other is much more powerful and cheaper, but requires a bit more tinkering (Kobo). The question really comes down to what you want in an ebook reader, and - probably far more importantly - do you plan to get your books from Amazon, or from other sources?

That does not appear to be an option. You will need to merge the PDF documents together after you drop them to a PC.

No, not directly. However, you could connect the Kindle to a usb port on your computer and attach this device to another usb port. The computer should see them both as external hard drives and allow you to copy files between them.

Go to the Android Play store and search for ebook readers. In short, yes, you have dozens of choices for a variety of formats plus Kindle and other proprietary formats, PDF and a variety of open ebook formats. The only hardware aspect is this has a great screen.

Completely unrelated to the question, but I've viewed these files on my wife's IPAD, but prefer to view them on my Kindle Fire. Amazon has a PDF drop box, which will send the file to your kindle without needing to connect the kindle to the computer and will simultaneously store the file in the cloud. As such if you have a kindle fire, consider reading these on that. If just the IPAD, see my post below which has a url with instructions for PDF viewing.

Yes, but the connection will bog down your kindle if your not careful with your storage and what your doing. You also have to keep in mind that the kindle wasn't designed to be a net book, but can be formatted to act like one.

I have not tried this myself, but I see instructions for doing this on the web here: http://www.kinworm.com/2011/01/create-your-own-kindle-ebook-using-open_30.html I searched for "openoffice kindle table of contents"

I use mine mostly to read ebooks to be honest, but occasionally i play sudoku or make a shopping list and add a contact. Um... in the eReader format right now I have 43 books on it and maybe 4 or so in the pdf format (eReader files are smaller than adobe)

Yes, you can read kindle books on the playbook. Your playbook must run OS 2.0. Their is a builtin android player that can run converted kindle apps. Www.goodereaders.com have a section of android converted apps for playbook and the tool to side load them from your pc to playbook via usb connection. Same way you copy music to a mp3 player.So. 4 things required1- playbook running playbook OS 2.0 2- usb cable 3- www.gooderader site - download tool for side loading and kindle bar file 4- pc or laptop running windows

MusicLvr, The Kindle is not a computer, it's an ebook reader, so don't expect it to do what the Aspire does. The reason you see the poor reviews is that about the only people to report back are the ones with problems. I've had my Kindle since October and absolutely love it. I currently have about 250 book on it. If you really want to research the Kindle, may I recommend that you visit: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php - it will open your eyes. Can you download books on an Aspire One, the same as Kindle? - Yes and no. The Kindle uses a proprietary file format that cannot be opened by Windows, so you will not be able to buy Amazon books and read them on the Aspire. However, there are thousands of books available elsewhere in other formats (txt, doc, pdf, prc, mobi, etc.) that you can download to your computer (many of them for free) and read. If you look around, you can probably find a free ebook reader for your computer for those formats that Windows doesn't open itself (prc, mobi, and mayby a few others), but you won't (at least at this time) find one to open the Amazon books. So, here's the thing - the Aspire is a Windows computer. It will open and let you read any file it recognizes. The Kindle is NOT a computer - it's a reader; it doesn't use Windows. Check out the above website - you can ask all of the questions you want and you'll probably get better and maybe more accurate answers.

I've asked Amazon the same question. The Windows based system will allow complete use of the Amazon purchased books and movies. However, the "other" Android or Windows tablets will not run the Kindle appa, i.e. the free Kindle library.

You mention you use eBooks, so I'm curious. How many eBooks can you fit on this device?

Just a guy,Thanks...that helps me decide what to do. I checked again...to see if maybe I was going crazy...and I definitely 'see' previous screens after leaving them....sounds like a call to Kindle Support! As long as they don't take my Kindle without getting me a replacement FIRST! : )Thanks again

In my experince, this device does not work on most PCs so I would guess it wouldn't work with your Kindle.

Joy, I just tried to see if I could get the e-books on my older Kindle Paperwhite e-reader to come up and it didn't. That doesn't exactly mean it won't. Best to either call the company or just purchase a laptop that does support it. I know my larger heavier laptop does. Sorry I couldn't of been more help.
