I personally only use HP printers. Everyone of them have worked out of the box with no problems. It is a good idea in the future to buy hardware from manufacturers who fully support Linux.

Why not just install what you want to use and be done with it???? Laziness??

I never understand these posts from people who seem to use Linux on a regular basis. It is very simple. If you don't like something CHANGE it!! That is the beauty of Linux. I always customize my...

So change it!!!

Just connect your Kindle to the computer with the USB cable. Ubuntu should recognize it as a removable drive. Then just drag and drop.

Everyone knows how rich you all are over there!! :p:popcorn:

Sounds like a Kindle 2 without WiFi from that firmware version.

Are you getting error messages? You might want to try and use a program called Calibre to transfer files over. I have not had any problems at all and I have the latest version of the Kindle firmware.

I have the Kindle 3 WiFi version and love it. It has help up very well under a lot of use. If I didn't have the Kindle then I would probably go with one of the new Sony's. As for which format is...

What wakeup call. It has already been reported that ebooks are outselling paper books on Amazon. Don't see them lowering prices any time soon.

I also recommend getting an ereader with e-ink technology. It is very easy on the eyes. I personally use a Kindle 3 myself with Calibre software. If you want to get all the latest releases of books...

I don't use Calibre to read the books in copyright. You can change the metadata however you like. I like to change the titles of some of the books so that I can put them in order for series. If you...

I am not sure why you need Win-7 for your Kindle. I have a Kindle and have not had any problems accessing it through Ubuntu. I also use a program called Calibre to manage all my books.

The good thing about any Linux distro is being able to install any desktop environment you want.

I know it installs fine just the last time I used it from the repositories it was not an up to date version.

You can use the Kindle for pc app if you use Wine. It works pretty good. You don't need it to use the Kindle device itself though. Ubuntu treats the Kindle like a usb drive.

I also use a program...

I would recommend downloading from their site. It is an up to date version. Here is the link. Just copy and paste :).

That depends on you. Do you have an extra fifty bucks to spend? Then you would have internet access where ever AT&T has service to check emails and things. I personally did not have the extra fifty...

The good thing about the Kindle if you buy it directly from Amazon is that they give you 30 days to decide if you want to keep it or not. Their customer service can't be beat and neither can their...

I have had my Kindle for 3 months now and I love it also. I also use Calibre. I have not spent much on books at all because of the free classics and all the free books we get daily. I would recommend...

I have found that converting the PDF to epub and then epub to mobi the best quality. Good luck on this.

Someone on the Kindle boards was complaining about this problem this morning using the Kindle for PC app running on Windows. Maybe their servers are down at this time. I would try again later and not...

How are we enslaved in chains on the Kindle? Nook uses DRM just like the Kindle does. There are so many free books every week that we get as well. There are also other sites where we can purchase...

I have not had any issues using the web browser. I find it very usable. I guess to each his own. As for converting files, what if you had a .lit file or a palm file. They are so easy to convert this...

Did you get the Regular Nook or the Nook Color?
