    I got a kindle last month . the one with the keyboard and wi fi . Delighted with it . Son has arrived in now with another one. I think it may be newer than mine. Slightly smaller and the keypad is built into the screen through the menu button.
    My query is this. Can we share / transfer books to each other ?
    He bought his in PC world €109

    download the calibre ebook manager onto a pc and you can do pretty much what you like with them and even free yourself from the clutches of the amazon kindle store. :)

    Yes you can, go to your amazon account and add his account :)

    Personally I prefer buying from the amazon kindle store, find it much easier to use :)

    there's plenty of choice out there, restricting yourself to just using amazon seems like a waste, particularly given all the free ebook resources online.

    Once your able to link your reader to the pc/laptop, there is no problem putting any books on it from any bookseller as long as they are in one of the many formats it can read and display.

    eggsackary, and you can still use the amazon kindle store as well, so you're not missing out on anything at all, just giving yourself more choice.
