Excited to receive a Kindle for Christmas but need help in setting it up.
Am now 90 and non-tech - scared I mess things up!
grateful for your help - words of one syllable please!
Happy New Year to all.

Shouldn't amazon give that guide for nothing?

Thanks bednobs for the clue - am wading through instruction on my computer.
Thanks also to WR - just needed a bit of a push!
No, cloverjo, - not a word of explanation

don't miss the "12 days of Kindle" sale that's on at Amazon at the moment - there's lot's of good stuff for sale at 99p and you can stock up a bit for the rest of the year

Deal of the day's worth looking at too

Hope you have loads of fun with your Kindle Jack. Mine is one of the originals but would not be without it. Scared me to death a couple of years after I had it when it up-dated itself and started talking to me.

Hi daisynonna and thanks for the encouragement.
Wiating for paperwhite to charge so that I can get cracking.
What was the first book you bought?

[DaisyNonna]

First book I bought was A Girl of the Limberlost which I read as a child. Recommended by my mother who read it when she was a young girl. Fascinated to find it still available. Published in 1909! Have 55 books archived and can re-read them whenever I want. 54 currently to be read. A good friend to me!
Have fun! G x
