Amazon’s Kindle Touch is now available worldwide
With all this “fuss” about Kindle Fire, we have essentially forgotten about the traditional e-book reader devices in the series. Now it’s time to remember them again, as Amazon decided to give Kindle Touch a “passport”. Specifically, the device was previously available only to American customers, but now it can be sent to any country. As for Greece, the total cost, including shipping & handling, amounts to 160 euros.
Strangely enough, in countries with their own Amazon stores, like England, Germany and France, Kindle Touch is not available through these local stores, nor can they order it through the US Amazon store. The other day, I was reading a colleague’s complaint on Facebook, about an online store (not Amazon), that has suspended its transactions with users from Greece. In this case however, the largest online store in the world closes the door on the major leagues in Europe, but allows Greeks to walk right in.
The Kindle Fire’s firmware is updated to version 6.2.2
Amazon, having proven its sincere interest towards the Kindle Fire, released the updated 6.2.2 version of the device’s firmware. The Silk browser can now function in full screen mode, while various other fixes and improvements are included. Naturally, if you have unlocked the device’s bootloader,
this update will prevent you from obtaining access as a root administrator. The update is available both over the air, or as a conventional download.

So far Dolphin appears to open just about any site whereas Opera seems to be a little more picky on the content.
Note: The Amazon Silk Web Browser loaded as the default browser on the Kindle 7" HD does not support Flash content nor will it work with this new plugin. This is the reason for installing Opera and Dolphin.

Kindle Paperwhite Screen Comparison
If Amazon could do it all over again, I bet they would decide to wait on releasing a frontlit Kindle until the frontlighting technology is better.Why, you ask? Because ever since the Kindle Paperwhite was first released, there’s been tons of discussions and complaints from customers about how uneven the lighting is and how there are discolorations on the Paperwhite’s screen. So much so that Amazon even added a disclaimer to the Kindle Paperwhite’s product description page.
Looking over the reviews on Amazon and reading through the conversations in forums, there are countless reports of people exchanging their Paperwhite for a new one because of the aforementioned issues. Some people are on their 6th or 7th Kindle (by that time they might as well just give up and accept reality, because the reality is the Kindle Paperwhite’s lighting is never going to be perfect).
I decided to jump on the replacement bandwagon myself. As I’ve mentioned in the past, my Kindle Paperwhite has some discolorations on the upper half of the screen under certain lighting conditions. While trying to do a comparison with the Kobo Glo, I became conflicted because I wasn’t sure if the discolorations on my Kindle Paperwhite’s screen was an accurate representation of the product as a whole; I thought maybe they had fixed the discolorations issue with newer shipments. I was wrong. I received my replacement earlier in the week and am sure glad I decided not to send back the original until after comparing both side-by-side. The difference between the two is surprising.
Kindle Paperwhite? More like Kindle Paperyellow. That’s the story with my replacement Kindle.I wonder if Amazon is experimenting with using different colored LED lights to try and minimize the issues with the screen lighting because the overall lighting on my original Kindle Paperwhite is much whiter than the replacement. Looking at both devices next to each other with the lighting turned all the way up, the replacement Kindle’s screen is noticeably yellower in tone.
I tried taking some pictures but I’m not a professional photographer so it proved to be difficult. You can kind of see the difference in the picture at the top of this post (the replacement is on the left), but I think the difference is more obvious in person.Not only is the color more yellow on the replacement, the lighting seems less even and the discolorations more blotchy. There’s a really bright spot toward the bottom of the screen that’s almost as white as my original Paperwhite, and that makes the shadow waves at the bottom of the screen more obvious, not to mention the subtle changes in tone on other parts of the display.
Long story short, I’ll definitely be keeping the original and sending back the replacement. It’s surprising how much of a difference there is between the two. I can’t help but wonder where Amazon goes from here moving forward with their frontlight Kindles.
install both Go Launcher EX and Go Launcher HD

Go Launcher EX has the largest number of options but it was designed around a Phone form factor not a Tablet form factor while Go Launcher HD was designed around a Tablet form factor. We personally use Go Launcher EX on the Kindle 7" HD due to the vast available Themes, plus it gets updated about every week, so if you find a Go Launcher EX bug, it will be aggressively resolved.

The Kindle PowerFast for Accelerated Charging. must have
This device should be standard with all Kindles. Sure, the Kindle will charge just fine via the USB connection to a PC, but this acceleated charger is fantastic!!
By Renee "nee" (River Falls, WI United States)
This review is from: Amazon Kindle PowerFast for Accelerated Charging (not included with device, for use with the new Kindle Fire or Kindle Fire HD models) (Accessory)
My husband and I bought each other the new Kindle HD's for Christmas. For the price we paid for each one ($250) Amazon should just throw in the $19.99 charger. I read in one of the reviews that the reviewer had gotten the charger for only $9.99 when they bought the Kindle. I never received that offer so I called Amazon and they honored the $9.99 price for me. It seems that the charger works good but still think that it should just be part of the price of the Kindle.HD 32gb

Amazon manager Jeff Bezos talks about the Amazon kindle Fire HD
Mr Bezos made the comments as his firm launched its new Paperwhite e-reader and an associated book lending scheme in the UK, Germany and France.
The latest e-ink powered device features a built-in light that will help the firm compete against Barnes & Noble's Nook Glowlight and Kobo's Glo, which offer a similar feature.
Amazon is seeking to distinguish its line-up by offering a subscription package that includes access to the Kindle Owners' Lending Library.The service offers users the ability to borrow up to one book a month from a selection of titles including well known authors - such as JK Rowling - and writers who have published their works through Amazon's own publishing system.Kindle Paperwhite The Kindle Paperwhite has a 6in (15cm) screen and a built-in light
The UK service will include more than 200,000 ebooks at launch.
While other e-readers lack a matching facility, if they support the ePub format their owners can still borrow ebooks from their local library if it supports the OverDrive system.
Bigger appetites Deliveries of Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite will begin in Europe on 25 October, coinciding with the release of its 7in (18cm) Kindle Fire HD tablets.
Mr Bezos made clear that the devices' success would depend on how many books and other media files were subsequently bought by their owners."We want to make money when people use our devices, not when people buy our devices," he told the BBC.
By contrast Apple has indicated in the past that it makes much of its profits from device sales while running its iTunes store "slightly above" break-even.
Android tablet makers also rely on hardware sales. While Google provides their system software for free, the search giant keeps a cut of app and digital media sales made via its Google Play marketplace.Mr Bezos said that part of the reason his strategy worked was that users' appetite for media appeared to grow once they owned one of his devices.
Google Nexus 7 and also Amazon's Kindle tablets are included in new features
Apple's discuss of globally product deliveries dropped from about 66% to 50% between the April-to-June one fourth and the July-to-September interval, according to information from IDC. By comparison the Amazon kindle and Nexus devices' discuss increased. Traders will observe to see how that pattern is impacted in the present interval following the release of the iPad Small.
Bundle discount
The Periods is advertising its Nexus 7 Digi Bundle - which gives online entry to The Periods and Weekend Periods documents - by providing the 32GB edition of the product for £50, on top of the price of its conventional program, rather than the £199 it is marketed for in stores.
The cope includes an 18-month dedication to the document, providing the all inclusive costs to £299 for the interval. It is important that the company selected Search engines product, considering Information International's us president, Rupert Murdoch, had formerly described the company as a "parasite" for providing his papers' material in its news search results.
One specialist recommended the cope would confirm an "eye-catching" advantage to the company in the run-up to Xmas - a time when many family associates are considering purchasing a product. "In the future there's no query a important percentage of press will move onto pills, and that's a risk to make guides as it allows people to eat material in circumstances [where] they would have only have study make in the past," Benedict Evans, technical professional at Enders Research, informed the BBC.
"So the Periods is trying to make a habit-making weblink here. But you also need to acknowledge the Periods has an recognized 'customer purchase cost' and has a lengthy custom of using freebies to protected revenue."
Asus - the maker of the Nexus 7 - said the cope had come about after it had been contacted by Information Worldwide. Search engines pressured that it had not been engaged in the agreement.
Child-friendly content
Amazon's FreeTime Endless support expenses a per month fee for entry to book, game and academic apps; movies; and TV reveals.
Kindle FreeTime Endless picture Amazon guarantees to display all material on its FreeTime provide to make sure it is age-appropriate
Disney, DC Comic strips, Nickelodeon and the group behind Sesame Road are among the marketers that have permitted their material to be engaged.
The product is focused at kids outdated between three and eight and will enhance material based on their sex and age.
It costs about $5 (£3) each 30 days per kid, although there is a lower price for associates of the Amazon Primary program.
Amazon had formerly informed the BBC it marketed its components "at cost" significance it only makes money by promoting material to customers and attractive them to make further buys from its site.
The company said it had no information about if or when the support would release outside the US. However, one specialist considered such offers would become more common.
"Android pills have become commoditised components with no one de facto resource of material, so it will be press offers that will help force particular gadgets into the arms of customers," said Frank Natural, major technological innovation specialist at Davies Murphy Team.
"So far this pattern hasn't had too much effect on The apple company, which primarily offers rather than leases material - it's revenue are increasing yearly even though its discuss of the overall market has dropped.
"But if its revenue started to be cannibalised, I believe Apple's technique would change instantaneously."

Trouble emailing documents to the Kindle?
We’re both having major problems when we email documents to our Kindles. Documents aren’t showing up at all. sometimes, they’ve arrived on the device but Amazon’s conversion process spewed such a long file name that the Kindle operating system can’t read it; when we hooked them up to a computer and look at the files, we’ve been able to see them, and if we manually rename them, they will appear on the Kindle.
Sometimes they aren’t showing up even if the file name is fixed; when this happened today, we disconnected the Kindle and NONE of the files showed up. Happily, this was fixed by plugging the Kindle into the charger for a few minutes… but those were more nervewracking minutes that we didn’t need.
Let me know if you’re having problems, please?
