Kindle

Amazon Kindle is a superior way of reading books. Here I record some neat things that I've learned over the years.

Sometimes your books get updated. The book section will read "Update Available" if there is a new version. You can make the updates automatic.

You can use Calibre or Zamzar to convert various formats to Kindle.

Highlight remarkable sections of your book to export them later. I highlight a lot of stuff when I read books that I want to remember later for a reason or another. After finishing the book, you can use Menu > Export> Gmail on a Kindle device to send the highlights to your inbox.
