Kindle for SurfaceBook 3 Windows 10
For some unknowable reason my initial download installed but failed to run correctly (Windows 10). Twice I uninstalled the program. The third time I downloaded the program from Amazon again - involves "purchasing" a new copy for $0, which feels a little counterintuitive ... but ok. This time it worked just fine. You have to sign into your Amazon account to see your books, obviously. Looks just like the Kindle you know and love ... except it is on a bigger screen and in color (my Kindle is the Paperwhite B&W version). I probably won't often read on my laptop but it provides a really useful way of taking notes and doing schoolwork, research using books or pdf's you're writing or researching. Also I like the simplicity of downloading pdf's into your Kindle - giving you access to a world of great information from sources such as Your local Public Library, PubMed, NEJM, Project Gutenberg - all examples which have extensive free published work without copyright concerns. I was amazed how easy it was to borrow an ebook (The Martian - shown in the screen capture) from my library and it was totally seamlessly integrated into the Amazon.com interface - impressive! Kindle - for those of you who are too young to know – replaces all kinds of inadequate archaic reading software we had to use in the past, with a single, robust, intuitive application or device. There's a lot to thank Jeff Bezos for - affordable, easy to order books, shopping deliveries during covid - but this apparently small app is the most important since it opens up the highest cultural device humans so far invented: communication & education through reading & writing. Nice!
