Amazon Kindle Users...
My Mum is looking at getting a Kindle to take with her on her numerous holidays, however she doesn't have wireless at home, she's still using a wired broadband modem.
2 questions:- Can you plug a Kindle into a broadband modem? If not, can you download the Kindle books to a PC and then transfer them to a Kindle via the usb connection? TIA |

Get the wifi & 3G variant, you can then access the internet/email/download anywhere at no extra cost. |
Mine decided to not start after boarding a nine hour flight, great gadget but it does make you question the wisdom of a book that needs batteries.
If you hack your Kindle, does that make you a "Kindle Fiddler" ? and what are the chances of a mob of scrotes comign to burn your house down when they hear that. |

TIA I have the wifi only version. You can not (as far as I'm aware) plug it onto a router directly. You can connect to your PC and copy books to it directly (it shows as a portable media device). I recommend installing caliber (http://calibre-ebook.com/) on your PC as a way to manage and convert e-books on the Kindle. I had one instance of it not starting up. You just need to slide and hold the power slider across for about 15 seconds and it will start. |
