How do you eject your Kindle from your computer?

I love computer folks and their thought that all of us use their language. I was baffled by that message too. I did some research and here is what I came up with...

Go to the start menu on your computer while the kindle is plugged into your usb port. Go to My Computer (or just Computer on Windows Vista). Open that and you should see your kindle in one of your drives. Right click over that drive and you should see an option to eject. Click on that and you should be able to go back to reading your kindle.

Why it doesn't say "Go to start menu, then my computer then right click on kindle and click eject" to continue reading while plugged into the usb port....is totally beyond me.

The books for the Kindle can cost anything from FREE to $9.99. The $9.99 books are usually for a new release book which, if you purchased in regular book form, would probably be hardback.

Can you download kids books on the Amazon Kindle 3?

You people need to do some searching on your own instead of relying on an answer given by someone else.

I am absolutely sold on my e-reader and wish they would have been available when I was a child instead of having to wait until I was in my sixties. Reading is so much faster not having to deal with page turning (I was always having to dink with having too many pages picked up by my fingers and having to separate out the page needing turned). So nice having a light weight 'book' to hold instead of a heavy book to balance. Would not trade away my e-reader for anything except perhaps ten more years of healthy lifetime. And then I'd turn right around and buy another one.
