Temporarily Free Kindle Book: What is Killing My Tomato
For Kindle people, I was looking through the temporarily free Kindle books website and saw this title. Haven't read it yet, though.

No Kindle...No Problem.....
Don't be put off by your lack of a Kindle, you can view it without one.
It's a free book, download and read in your browser. Make a 'bookmark' and read it later. Well worth the effort!!!! |

I have yet to be able to get into E Books.
I have tried and tried and just cant seem to like it. I honestly hope I go away before real books go away. I have looked into the new Kindle Paper white but I have more important priorities at this time. Worth |

Reading e-books is pretty much the same thing as reading anything else on a computer screen. I've read a book or two online from the library that was not available in a paper copy.
You can download Kindle software for free and get free Kindle books and have your own free library to read online. You don't need to buy special hardware to read ebooks, if you already have a computer or laptop. I've even heard of people reading books on their phones! |

On the computer, I can adjust the size and often the font. I've seen some paper books whose scrunchy, hard-to-read fonts dissuaded me from reading them, even though the subject matter was mildly appealing.

There is "Kindle for PC". That's what I have and yes you can change the size of the fonts so it isn't such a strain on the eyes.
I found some books my church puts out that they now put out in PDF also. I like those PDFs as I can make them more readable for me than the actually printed books. Carol |

1. Install Kindle for PC on PC or Kindle App on smartphone or tablet or Ipod.
2. Register Kindle App to your Amazon account. 3. Now click on the ebook and send it whisply(?) to your Kindle app thingy. 4. Open Kindle app thingy and download the ebook. Read. Enjoy. 5. Go here for latest Kindle freebies http://www.freereadfeed.com/ but use the filters at top for your interests to save time. Rick (who has not paid for a Kindle book ever) |

You need an Amazon account, then look to the right, a panel with "Buy with one click" this should download to a 'cloud Kindle reader'. This will allow you to read in your browser, I use 'Chrome', but should work in other browsers.
