Kindle books from ipod touch to computer?
I started buying kindle books from the app on my iPod touch because the prices are great. Problem is my iPods die constantly. How do I get the books I downloaded from my iPod to my computer so I can have them backed up?
Stan answers:
See here and the comment in the page, it should work similar for both iPhone and iPod touch, see if it helps:

However, if you plan to read Kindle books often, I’ll recommend you to get the Kindle instead. When using the iPod to read Kindle books, there are quite a lot of people complaining about the small screen size, discomfort for long reading, no wireless access and no access of Kindle store for instant download of books and newspapers, etc., when compared to the Kindle. If you only use the device for reading occasionally then it should be fine. But if you’ll use it for reading often then it is the best bet to buy the Kindle. You’ll definitely feel a big difference on the reading experience. There is a good review here talking about the difference too:

I recommend you to read this review of the Kindle too, it is the best one I’ve ever read:

Hope it helps.

Does amazon send receipts for free kindle books?
I just bought a book on amazon for the kindle app on my itouch. The book was free and my grand total was $0.00. They made me give them a billing address. Will they send anything to my house? If they do, what will be on it? And what do I do?
Stan answers:
They’ll only send it to your email address. You don’t need to do anything.

Free kindle books on the web?
I am looking for any free kindle books on the web. Ones I have got links to, are very old and not so interesting. Looking for some variety… Any suggestions please?
Stan answers:
The sites listed here have free ebook downloads:

Also, if you master a good conversion tool such as Calibre,
http://calibre-ebook.com/
you’ll gain access to more formats (such as EPUB) than just Kindle’s native ebook file formats (AZW, MOBI).
Chris asks…
Where can I get Kindle books from other than Amazon?
I’m currently considering buying one of the new Amazon Kindles but I was just wondering can you only get books off the amazon site or is it like with music and iTunes where you should buy music off the iTunes store but a lot of people including myself use free sites and torrents to get music – can i get ebooks like that?
Stan answers:
You can get out of copyright books on Project Gutenberg. But for modern books, Amazon is pretty much your only source.
Don’t fret about it though. I checked around. Other eBook sellers aren’t beating Amazon on price or selection.
John asks…
How do I put my kindle books on to my kindle?
I just got a kindle as a gift. I would like to put my coursesmart e-textbooks on to it. How do I do it? And don’t tell me it is not possible.
Stan answers:
If it’s an eBook in the Kindle format, you can just plug your Kindle into your computer with the USB cable, and then drag and drop books onto your Kindle. To the computer, it looks just like any USB memory device.
