248AM Kindle Edition
If you have a Kindle you can now subscribe to 248AM and read it on the go. Any new posts will be downloaded and updated on your Kindle automatically and of course you can then read the blog without having to be connected to the internet. I check out the majority of the blogs on my Mac or iPad but I have a few I prefer to read on the Kindle so I figured I’d make this option available to whoever wants it. Since most of my posts don’t have any videos you really won’t be missing out on anything. This option sadly isn’t free since Amazon has set the subscription price to 99cents a month and I don’t have any say in that.
To subscribe to the blog on your kindle you can either visit the Kindle Store from your Kindle and search for 248AM or you can subscribe from your browser by following this [Link]
Nice
BTW mark do you know any place that sells the kindle in Kuwait , i don’t want to buy it from the US
I don’t know anybody who sells it. I think because it’s not easy to setup the first time (if you want to buy stuff from the US Store).
aha
then ill have to buy it from amazon
thank you
Office Depot sells the Kindle Fire for 84.700KD I found that out a while back but it’s still inflated in terms of price you can definitely get it cheaper online.
Mark, I read 248am on my calculator. Please fix the layout so that I have a hassle-free experience.
You’re probably joking but you can actually get online from a calculator http://www.pcworld.com/article/236658/graphing_calculator_web_browser_is_here_geeks_love_it_smartphones_unimpressed.html
Well that’s convenient:
“This title is not available for customers from your location in: Middle East”
Well Kindle isn’t officially out yet for our region but if you have one then you can work your way around that limitation
the blog looks nice in black and white
it’s why i love reading some blogs on the kindle, it’s text based without all the distractions.
Cool that you use a kindle. i currently own the Fire,i don’t know how to work round that limitation yet.
I didn’t actually do anything to work around it. i only found out people had limitations when i posted about the kindle awhile back.
I remember calling Amazon several times to see if there’s potential to the kindle in the middleeast. Apparently there isn’t, but i remember one of the customer service rep. telling me how this problem can be solved if i do a little research into the problem. The fire is such a great device,given the price and the size, i’d choose over an IPad anyday. I just hope Amazon realize the potential of the device globally
It’s not amazon that doesn’t want the middle east, it has to do with publishing rights. It’s a very complicated issue because one publishing house might have the rights to a book in the US but a different publishing house would have the rights to the book in the Middle East or in the Far East or in Africa.
btw @ q8nation, i’d seen the kindle in electrozan. Bit expensive but check them out
aha,,so this is about ebooks only ? what about the apps?
I don’t have Apps on my Kindle since its the basic version so no idea.
Mark your Kindle, which one is it exactly? Are you able to purchase books through wifi directly?
i have the cheapest $79 one and yes i can purchase books through wifi.
I have a Kindle and the process is pretty straight forward. You have to open a US Amazon account.
This means opening an amazon account with a US address (aramex address will do) and then funding it with a gift card bought from your ‘normal’ amazon accoutn and gifted to your ‘new’ amazon account. DO NOT use a CC to fund the kindle account or it will recognise your CC account is not based in USA.
Now you can use the kindle store on your kindle account, you can register your kindle in US and then buy from US Kindle store.
My account has both US and Kuwait shipping addresses and I use only a Kuwait base CC and yet I can buy whatever I want from the Kindle store.
Not sure then. Perhaps rules have relaxed a little. I have only a US (aramax) address and no CC. I do the gifting process above. Then again, I did register the kindle when it first came out it may well be easier now.
Yeah. I always thought that it was like this. But after reading Marks comment on the forum, went ahead and bought a Kindle, and found that I could buy any Kindle content with my Kuwait CC card.
