Sources of Free Books for the Kindle: Convert your own files to a Kindle-compatible format using the free Mobipocket Creator (http://www.mobipocket.com/en/downloadSoft/ProductDetailsCreator.asp) Most websites designed for mobile phones will work with the Kindle's experimental browser. Some which are particularly useful to road warriors are: m.tripit.com mobile.delta.com m.google.com mobile.flighstats.com The Google offerings for mobile phones, including Google Reader, GMail, and Google Calendar are particularly useful on the Kindle's limited browser. The charger for the Kindle2 is a micro-USB connector. If you already have a mini-USB charger or a mini-USB cable which you would like to use, a Motorola mini-USB to micro-USB adapter is available through Amazon at (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EJFZ5G). | |||||||
