I knit, I write, I get bossed around by cats and hens. It's a nice life, really.

#psa: #Howto #download #Kindle #books: Amazon is removing the book download to a file feature Feb 26th. Here's how to download your purchases.

#BoostingIsSharing

  • Log on to Amazon.com from your Internet Browser and click Account & Lists
  • Click Content Library
  • Click Books
  • Find a book and to the right, click the More actions button
  • In the dropdown, click Download & Transfer via USB
  • Read the dialog. Click one of your Kindle devices
  • Click the yellow Download button.
  • Repeat 4 through 7 for each book or comic. There is no bulk download.

    An .aws digital book file will download to your downloads folder. I've confirmed I can read it with Calibre on the Mac, an e-book reader. I expect the procedure will work on Windows or *nix.

    Note: If the book is locked by DRM, you may only be able to view it on a Kindle, but you will have your copy forever. A good reason to buy DRM-free books.

    Please BOOST!

    I love this - what's the pattern?

    @lvyi This reads, to me, as very romantic. <3

    I'm in my mid-fifties and everyone my age and older knows touch typing, because everyone used a typewriter.

    @sortius

    Huh. Okay.

    When you read novels set in ancient China, do you require they use metric measurements, or can they use li and cun?

    @sortius

    So... if I'm writing a novel set in the US and I say that someone drives eight miles, you'd stop reading?
