This Consumer Guides give to us some advantages, like this :
1. A nifty, no-frills guide
Disclaimer: I received a hard copy of this book free from the author, through the Goodreads First Reads program.
This is a nifty, no-frills guide to maximizing your Kindle's potential using free content. To that end, the author, who obviously loves his subject, outlines many sources of free reading material, including books and newspapers, and he uses screenshots generously to help the newbie or tech-challenged understand.
The first few pages of this 53 page guide are devoted to where to get free books. Weber also introduces you to his own website, which sorts through the myriad Amazon freebies each day and picks out the highest rated for the discerning reader. The next section is devoted to tools to help manage your library and convert files to usable formats.

2. Learned something new!
I downloaded this book because it was free. But it's truly been a pleasant surprise. I've learned so many new things and discovered so many more apps and websites and things to do with my Kindle. Free can be good and worth your time after all!

Its worth it for a single tip.
I picked this ebook up today and flipped through it quickly just to get a feel for what information was provided. I stopped at the Calibre section to read a little more closely. I downloaded Calibre to my PC a year or so ago but really never use it. Since this book revealed to me that I could get newspapers delivered for free I had to check it out. Wow, I never knew about this feature. Within about 2 minutes I was reading the english language newspaper from my old hometown, The Japan Times. I also checked out my current hometown paper and the Associated Press. If this is the only tip I use from this book it was worth it, but I am sure I'll find other useful information once I read it more closely.
This is the second 'how to' book I've downloaded by this author. I like how he explains things in a simple way that even the technically challenged such as myself can understand.
