Learn to Love to Read, All Over Again!Many of us have a Kindle, be it the device or the Kindle on PC sdevices, I usually just crack it open, turn it on, forget about reading instruction manuals or warranties, get to the good stuff and start using it. It is a bad habit, yes, I know, but with so many technical things coming and going everyday throughout my life, I've just sort of learned how to muddle through things and worry about things later, if something goes wrong.However, with this e-book, I decided to take a slightly different approach to my Kindle on my PC. I decided to take a calming breath and to actually read a little about it before I jumped in and just started pushing buttons and clicking the mouse.Well, I'm glad I did just that for this e-book companion for the Kindle. There are so many small applications that I use very often while using the Kindle that I would not have even known existed, such as the mouse and how to use it to navigate, instead of the computer, or how useful it is to take notes with the highlighter application and be able to make noteworthy notes when I make notes.I had noticed that before I read this Kindle companion, I would get frustrated with e-books. I am used to paper books, that's how I got through high school, college and most of medical school, paper, pencil, highlighters, notes, copying, all that good stuff. It still is hard for me to transition to a more computerized way of studying and reading. It still is hard at times, but when I settled myself down to give the Kindle a chance by utilizing some of its applications, I started to learn a new appreciation for this new technological way of taking in information.I really like the instant use dictionary that Kindle has. I am one of those who love words and I love using and knowing big words. Vocabulary is cool to me, and I love having the whole dictionary and thesaurus at my fingertips.Another awesome feature of kindle are those instant `free apps' that are free, but they are only for a limited time, a `teaser' you could say. However, it gives you a lot of leeway to look at and learn things that you may never had even have thought to have looked into, this is referred to as the "Kindle Buffet."Overall, this Guide Book is definitely one to check out. You can quickly browse through the content and stop only at the interesting things, or you can read from beginning to end. With the Kindle, it's easy to navigate back and forth from page 1 to page 300 and back to your notes on page 25, etcetera. It gives you a new kind of power and control over the literature and information that you read.JoannaJean
