You live in an area with no cell service and you only have slow satellite internet service which limits the size of downloads you can do Is the kindle a bad idea for us?

I never download books on Kindle via its Internet connection. I only use the USB cable.

Regular e-books aren't that large so if you can connect your computer to the Internet and check your email, you probably can download a few books as well.

I don't think the Kindle is necessarily a bad idea in this case. In fact, it might help, since it can store a lot of books at a time, so you don't have to constantly get new books. It would really help if you asked perhaps a friend with a better connection to get you a couple of hundred public domain books in Kindle-compatible format, so you have something to read in case buying books online turns out to be a major issue.

Can Kindle books be bought on your Mac?

If you have a Kindle 3G, there is absolutely no need for a connection to any computer. Upon placing an order for a kindle book on amazon.com the book is delivered wirelessly to the device. The device basically has a cell phone inside that operates on Sprint's CDMA network. This is all free of charge.

This way you get new content on the device without it ever touching a computer.

If you do live in an area where you don't have good CDMA reception or if have a WiFi only Kindle you can plug the kindle into any computer using a USB cable and it will basically just act as a USB flash drive. You will see all the files on the kindle and you just need to place the kindle books in the correct folder.

==============================================

(Entry made by another person)

This is not true. I have more then 160 books on my Kindle and haven't paid anything for more then a dozen of them. Only a couple have I paid $7-$9 for, a number for 99 cents but the majority were free.

I keep my eye open on Amazon for books being offered for free for a short time. Later on if I look at them their price is considerably more. Just short time offerings to get interest going in an author or book.

PLUS Amazon, for one site, has many free older books. You can 'search' for "Kindle freebies" and find many books. PLUS, as I've noted in another post, the "Library of Congress" has many books that can be downloaded in several formats as well as downloading to Kindle. I've gotten several books from there, too.

There's a number of sites with free or low cost e-books.

I've had a Kindle for a year now and still think it's the most fantastic thing I own. I have a Kindle2 hubby bought me for Christmas last year and I bought a K3 when they came out just because the price had dropped so much and I liked being able to download 3500 books rather then "ONLY" 1500 (hahahaha). I 'loaned' my K2 to hubby and he's reading more then ever. We even turn off TV now to enjoy an evening of reading!

Don't know which e-reader is "best" because Kindle is all I've seen but I sure do love it!
