neilmac Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I've been so impressed with this bit of kit since I've bought it, what with its internet connection capabilities and all. I thought I would see what else it can do. With just a quick Google I've discovered that it can be used as a route planner, just get it into browser mode and type in the url maps.google.com/m/directions and you will come up with 'To' and 'From' boxes and the choices of 'By Car', By 'Transit', 'Walking' and 'Bicycling'. Just input where you are and your destination and there you go.... all worked out for you. All at no cost other than original purchase of the 3G Kindle. Neat eh? So, what else can you get your Kindle to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donna miller Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 As they are only cheap copies of the Sony E Reader, you could buy 4 of them and put them under your wheels on a boggy campsite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I have never been one for reading books, magazines yes but books no I havent the patience. However I dont get this reading a book via this modern media its just not right even to a philistine (possible spellin) like me. Just my opinion you understand. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do sound as if your getting your moneys worth then Neil, what stopped me getting one as an avid reader both at home or in the van ! is the price of the books that cant be passed on to friends ? apart from the fact I buy mine usually from Charity Shops. :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmaggott Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Why do people feel the need to be offensive when someone offers a tip such as this? A little homely that my mum used to say: "If you can't be nice just keep quiet"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If you can't be nice just keep quiet"!Nobody has posted anything offensive, I can see a couple of humourous posts amongst the others.Maybe a little heeding of your own statement would be beneficial.

Can I suggest if that's what it was include a smiley. (^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
