3 Kindle Secrets- Library Books, Swapping, and Secret Games?
Are you one of those many people that get giddy and excited when they talk about their Kindles? Do you preach about the greatness of it to your friends and family, and attempt to convert Nook users whenever you can? Then get ready for 3 more reasons to love the Kindle. These 3 Kindle tricks will give you more enjoyment, put your ereader to better use, and give you some tricks to talk about to fellow Kindle users.
Trick #1- Book Swapping- I’m not talking about the 2 week book swapping where you have to return the title before you finish the book. This is swapping books with your friends and family for good.
Follow these steps for book swapping:
- Log into your Amazon account
- De-Register Your Kindle
- Have your friend or family member log into their account and add your Kindle to their account.
-This means you’ll have to read them your serial number as they enter it into their account.
-Click “add new Kindle” after serial number is entered. - Go to your Kindle home page and click on “Archived Items”
-This will be a list of your friend or family member’s books. - Click on titles you want to have on your device.
-These will automatically download to your device, keeping them safely on the original owner’s Kindle. - Have your friend or family member de-register your Kindle from their account.
- Re-register your Kindle to your account.
Now you have all the titles you want from your friend or family member! This can be done up to 6 times per digital book.
Trick #2- Reading Library Books on The Kindle- It’s a well known fact that the Kindle isn’t compatible with EPUB files. It’s a simple process to convert these to a readable file using Calibre, but EPUB files that have a DRM attached to it cannot be read by the Kindle at all, without stripping the DRM and breaking some laws in the process.
There is a way to read Mobi-Pocket files on the Kindle though. That means that if you belong to a library that allows checking out of Mobi-Pocket files, then you can read books from the library, and check them out for free just like users of other ebook readers.
See the link below to learn exactly how to do it.
Trick #3- Secret Games On the Kindle- That’s right, there are secret games on the Kindle right out of the box.
- Hit “Shift+ALT+M” for access to Minesweeper.
- While in Minesweeper, hit the letter “G” for access to GoMoku. GoMoku is a game closely related to tic tac toe. For access to Minesweeper again, click “M”.
So there you have some great Kindle tricks you can definitely try at home that will help you read books from the library on the Kindle, swap books with friends and family, and play some cool free games on your Kindle.
