Do I buy books on the Kindle from Amazon and I can also free books from the Internet or self-written texts read out
you can download the Kindle books from other sources. These have no copy protection, and ideally be in the format Mobi or AZW – when converting to these formats, the software helps Calibre (see c’t link)
.
you can transfer e-books via USB from your PC to your Kindle or send it by mail to the device. You can find the email address of your Kindle to your Amazon account under “My Kindle / Personal Documents Settings”. While converting the Amazon e-mailing various formats for the Kindle, but the use of Calibre is recommended because you can control the layout so that the e-books better. A selection of websites and shops where you can obtain free and paid e-books without copy protection, we have compiled under the c’t link.
Exporte-books
Can I read my Amazon e-books on other devices?
All available in your Amazon library e-books you can read with all the devices for which there is the Kindle app. In other e-book readers or other apps you can only open when the e-books have no copy protection.
This is for example the case of the free Kindle books and e-books at all, where in the product information “Simultaneous use of devices: No restriction” is. To make those Kindle books with other readers compatible, you may need a conversion software like Calibre.
eBook license
far as I know, the e-book is not real, but only a license purchases on Amazon. Amazon can take the book to me at any time. Is that true?
Basically, that is correct. Amazon and other eBook providers you get loud and Conditions only a simple and not a transferable right to use the e-book. Property is not thereby gives. Amazon reserves the right to revoke the license, and this has been done in individual cases.
purely practical uses Amazon such use restrictions with copy protection measures. If the e-book is DRM-protected, Amazon can block a book later. Even otherwise DRM restricts the use of a solid: So usually the number of readers is limited, prohibited the copying of text passages and the resale or rental to others is not possible. If certain DRM books you also at the mercy is dependent on Amazon. The company provides its services at some point a, the books can not be transferred to new devices.
license limit reached
I can not load a purchased book on my Kindle. The reader reports that the license limit is reached. What to do?
Many e-books from the Kindle Store can be copied to a maximum of six units. To reduce the number of linked units, you can delete the book from the memory of the other device. In the app and touch-enabled Kindle models that works by long tapping on the book cover, on the Kindle without touch by selecting the book in the library, and then press the left arrow on the directional pad.
If you have no access to the other Amazon devices, you can also remotely log out by clicking the “Manage Your Kindle / Manage Your Devices” in your Amazon account remove the corresponding entries.
battery empty
It always is, with e-book readers, the battery lasts forever, but for me is usually after a week end. Am I doing something wrong?
In our experience, the Kindle connects sometimes very often with the Amazon servers, even if he has to load any Downloads as regular subscriptions. Especially in the UMTS-enabled Kindle models the battery is often empty after a week, even if you do not read it much.
For this reason you should always disable WLAN and cellular (depending on the model in the main menu or under Menu / Settings) if you are not in the shop on the way or expect subscription downloads. The synchronization of bookmarks and reading progress does not work in airplane mode, however.
buy English books
In the U.S., there is a greater supply of English books and magazines than in Germany. They are also effective to some extent. I come here as a German user ran
Even the supply of English literature in the German store is very large and the prices are lower than for the translation. You can also completely change your account on the Amazon website. This works by clicking on “More Information” button under “Manage Your Kindle / Regional Settings” and select there amazon.com. However, these are at the international Kindle Store and not the U.S.: There is a greater selection of magazines, books and magazines, but the prices are the same as in the German store
