My question is if you pay the additional fee on Amazon for a quilting book to receive it also as an e-book, how do you print any patterns such as applique??
We have a kindle fire too we got for Christmas, and love them. |
For the question concerning printing from an ebook: personally I don't have printer connected to any of my devices other than my desktop. But, you can set up via wifi to your printer. Also, when I buy an ebook from Amazon I can download it onto my Kindle device, my iPhone Kindle app and also to my desktop (or all of my devices).
There is a lot I have to learn about my devices including my Kindle Fire. One thing I particularly enjoy is being able to set it up near where I am working on a project and watch a YouTube videos, check into a quilting website and watch the instructions. The lack of HD doesn't concern me especially for the cost. I originally purchased this for my grandchildren to use when visiting us but since DH watches woodworking videos and I watch quilting/craft videos almost everyday, we are using it for ourselves also. It won't be for everyone but for us it works. The color and clarity of the screen are wonderful. |

The color on ours is better than my lap top. I was surprised.

I love mine and find it easier to check mail than on my laptop. At this price I'm tempted to order one for a spare or a gift. Beware, between checking mail, reading books and playing games it is a HUGE time sucker. I'm finding that it interferes with my sewing and (oh darn!!!) household chores.

I love both of my Kindles. With the original I can just read books but does not have back-up light to read in the dark. :/ With my Kindle Fire I can read books, download from the internet, surf the web, take pictures, read at night when a passenger and traveling etc. but have never found an app that allows me to print.

We are a Kindle house. The Kindle Fire is a tablet. It will do whatever any tablet will do. Kindle E reader is for books. There are many different types of both Kindles to suit your needs. Where can you find a great tablet for $39? I watch movies, browse the web, watch youtube videos, check email, read this board, and even take pictures just like a phone or camera. It's the best deal around. Think gifts for graduations coming soon.

Can't go wrong with a Kindle Fire for $39. I bought my grandson one for Christmas. He uses it for ABC Mouse and watching his favorite movies on Amazon and Netflix.
