Kindle confusion

I want to buy a Kindle but don't know which to buy.  I have a wireless router in my home , so will the "wifi" Kindle  work for me or do I need the "Free WG and wifi" Kindle because I am in Panama??

  • I was aware that several devices could read Kindle books but was curious if Kindle could read other books.

    I love the instant access concept but for me Kindle has a long way to go before I jump on the band wagon. I don't want books of any kind that arn't mine to do with as I please short of copying.

  • I understand the connection technolgy well enough but what I don't understand is the "red tape" that comes with the books you download.  Like a book I get from Hal can I trade a downloaded book with a friend?

    • No right now you can't lend a book to a friend (you can apparantley do so on Barnes & Noble's Nook E-Reader), but from something I read it is coming in one of the future upgrades. However, if I remember correctly it will work similar to the Nook in that you can only lend a book once for a limited time.
      • I went to my page in amazon and noted that all 6 of my books are lendable.

        From what I understand is that once you lend a book on Kindle, you won't have access to it until it's returned.

        • Wow -- didn't realize the update was already out. Checked some of my books and not all were lendable. For Kodiak the following is copied from Amazon's site:

           

          Eligible Kindle books can be loaned once for a period of 14 days. The borrower does not need to own a Kindle -- Kindle books can also be read using our free Kindle reading applications for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android devices. Not all books are lendable -- it is up to the publisher or rights holder to determine which titles are eligible for lending. The lender will not be able to read the book during the loan period.
          • When I uploaded my novels to the Kindle digital manager, there was a box that I checked to allow the book to be loaned.  The author makes the determination from the start.  It's similiar on the B&N Pubit.  It's the author's call.   BTW, 6 titles on Kindle, 2 on B&N.

        • Bob, Thanks for your quick reply. 

          Not being familar with Amazon's concept of lending and returning (lendable) books I for one would appreciate it if you would eleborate on how this process works.  Meanwhile are other downloadable books useable on the Kindle?

  • Hey Bob, I thought you had to pay to check emails and other stuff not on Amazon? Not so?
    • No there isn't a charge -- I've used mine a couple of times to check emails and such (it is very slow though and not my preferred method of checking). As long as you have a signal on the kindle you should be good.
    • I haven't been charged.  I've had my unit for several months. I'm determined to learn and use all the features available.  I use it every day.
