Not sure if you know, but you borrow books from local library's. I just tried it, you just need your card #, I use the kindle app. But I am sure you can use other formats as well. My local town (which is a small rural community) has a small secelction online, but you can go to other towns digital library's websites as well. I love this. Great for someone who is on the road, and never gets books back in time.

You probably already found it, but on the Amazon ebooks list, open best sellers and there is an ever changing of 100 free books to download

Wow this is a long thread. Sorry if it's already mentioned but has anyone not noticed when taking a picture with the camera app if you press the volume up it takes the picture instead of pressing the on screen button to take a snap???

I still find it more convenient to use the original button.

I may not be speaking for everyone and the Mods may ban me for saying this but I think with new users popping in all the time to subscribe to this thread Some tips are good to repeat. As evidence to the reply just after your post. Not everyone has the time to read a giant thread like this so I thinks it's a good service.

I used to be all thumbs now I'm all gums I love dictating my posts!

That is very easy to do. Good thing we can delete the photo then retake of the shot.

I tried that and I do not like the split keyboard. I wish there was an option to show numbers and letters at the same time.
