Re: I finally got my Kindle! (Help needed and a short survey) Tavi Send a noteboard - 08/01/2011 01:44:05 AM
I got my Kindle today and I'm so excited! I'm having difficulty getting connected to my router. I have tried doing what the Amazon troubleshooting suggests, but it isn't helping. Any suggestions? Also, what's the easiest way to change these screensaver pictures?

1) Do you read in portrait or landscape?


Portrait. I've tried landscape a few times, and it's just awkward.

2) Did you change your screensaver pictures? If so to what?


You can't change the screensaver pictures yet. There's around 10 default images that cycle through. Someone wrote a patch that would let you make your own screensaver, but Amazon shot it down in one of their updates.

3) On a scale of 1-10, 1 being "not at all" and 10 being "loving it", how have you enjoyed your Kindle since you got it?


I give it a solid 10 in terms of readability. I love having so many books to choose from all with me at the same time, and I love that I don't have to dog ear pages or bend spines to keep my place.

My only issue with it is that it's harder for me to skim through books for particular sections. So if I'm trying to research something in a Dresden or WoT book, I'll usually go to the dead tree version.
