Jim Hastings Posted 23 July , 2012 Author Share Posted 23 July , 2012 Sorry Mike, not sure on that one, but I am a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to modern technology, maybe another member may be able to help. I'm more of a book man myself, but my wife bought me the Kindle (think she did not want me taking up any more shelf space with WW1 books!!!) and it has broadened the library Hope someone can help you, be good to know Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Light Posted 23 July , 2012 Share Posted 23 July , 2012 Can you print, or copy text to pc from kindle? Just open the book on your computer from 'Kindle for PC' and highlight the area you want, and a box will pop up above the highlighted text with 'copy.' Then just paste into Word or wherever. Having pasted the text, it automatically adds the book details and location to the bottom of the paste which is useful. I have a feeling that this copy facility didn't used to be available, but as I had problems recently I had to uninstall and reinstall Kindle for PC and this feature just appeared.

Ken S. Posted 25 July , 2012 Share Posted 25 July , 2012 Free Kindle texts are usually from Project Gutenberg. http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Free_Kindle_Books If they are available at Project Gutenberg they often can be found elsewhere, such as Internet Archive (archive.org). For example: http://archive.org/details/forestersgreatwar00weetuoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarylW Posted 27 October , 2012 Share Posted 27 October , 2012 One of the top 100 Free books on Kindle at the moment World War One: History in an Hour [Kindle Edition] Rupert Colley http://www.amazon.co...k/dp/B007E3ESWC I've no idea of the worthiness of the book (i.e what the experts might think of it). Haven't read it yet, just passing this on Might be useful for student revision or anyone needing a quick overview or reminder of key dates and facts (?)

Matt Dixon Posted 28 October , 2012 Share Posted 28 October , 2012 Project Gutenberg is a great resource for some obscure and non-mainstream books on the Great War. I have downloaded a couple of hundred onto Kindle, some of which are dour and not particularly of interest to me, but there's some real gems out there as well. I guess you have to kiss a few frogs before you find a prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
