The e-book reader (e-reader) market is becoming hotter months after months since the battle among leading e-book reader makers are more fierce recently. However, when we mention e-book reader, almost people think about Kindle.
In fact, the most successful product in the Amazon ‘s history is continuing dominating e-book reader thanks to its larger ecosystem including convenient payment system, a huge e-book store. Also, Kindle has many advantaged features such as e-ink, cheap, working well on the sun, long battery time span. The price is really friendly compared to other rivals.
As a bookworm, I am really interested in owning a Kindle device. However, my current financial state is not good as expected, so Kindle is still one of my dream. Thanks to recent more friendly offer, I am on the way getting a Kindle in the very short time ahead.
As we all know, whenever we want to get new ebooks on our Kindle, we have to pay to get it on Amazon store. Amazon provides a range of free ebooks though, there is not many books you are really caring. But there is a very great news for Kindle owners probably they have not known: Amazon also offers various mini game and free application in order to help bookworm relax few minutes after a long run of reading. Many of popular games such as Blackjack, Puzzles, Poker… are completely free of charge. However, there is a difficulty in the story. Amazon only allows US account to download and install games freely.
I think, it is quite unfair, dear Mr BIG! Amazon should treat all theirs customers as best as they can. I do not find any reasons that let Amazon “prevent” outside customers download games and some application as US customers do.
Fortunately, recently I came across a forum and found a very useful tip. The nice guy written the post mentioned that we can easily download install games and application to Kindle without worry about our location. In this article I will try to mention you the handy tip.
