Tip of the Week -
Kwicker Kindling
 Did you know that you can use the Amazon Kindle
for reading Word and text documents and displaying pdfs and images? It’s true,
but getting stuff from your PC to your Kindle can be a bit of a faff, at least
it used to be. Amazon have just made it
a whole lot easier with a small free Windows application called Send To Kindle
for PC. Once installed it appears on the Windows Explorer and Print context
menus, so all you have to do to send a file to your Kindle is right click on
it, or multiple items, and select, you guessed it, Send To Kindle. The file
then wings its way direct to your Kindle via your wi-fi network, or using the
Amazon Wispernet (on 3G enabled devices) . Files that you can send to the
Kindle, and display on the screen include Word (.doc & docx), .txt, .rtf,
.jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp & .pdf. A Mac version is in the pipeline.
