I know that the my Kindle DX can read the text of some books and magazine articles, but I heard that you can also listen to music on the Kindle while you’re reading? Sweet, but how the heck do you do that??

How can I take a screen shot/capture on my Amazon Kindle?
I’ve been reading some of your terrific Kindle help here on Ask Dave Taylor and am dying to know: how are you getting those screen captures / screen shots from the Kindle for your articles?
How do I cancel an Amazon Kindle subscription?
I just subscribed to the Wall Street Journal on my new Kindle DX and don’t like it. I don’t want it and want to cancel the subscription. How do I cancel a magazine subscription on my Kindle?
How do I subscribe to a magazine on my Amazon Kindle?
Got an Amazon Kindle for my birthday but haven’t had much time to get into it, but I understand I can subscribe to my favorite magazines and have them automatically show up on my Kindle the same day the print magazines are published? That’s pretty cool, but I’m at a bit of a loss. How do I find what magazines are available and how do I subscribe to a magazine on my Kindle?
Can I read Kindle ebooks on my Apple iPhone?
I’ve heard I can use my Apple iPhone 3GS as a Kindle without actually buying a Kindle from Amazon. How is this possible and how do I do it?
How do I download books onto my Amazon Kindle?
My parents bought me an Amazon Kindle ebook reader for Christmas. Very cool. They also told me that they bought me a few books on Amazon (we share an account). I’m baffled, though: how do I get those books onto my Kindle?
Review: Amazon Kindle 2, one year later
[This review is written by contributing editors Deb and Thomas Frey]
Most product review are written shortly after the product is announced, but we thought it would be interesting to give our assessment of the Kindle 2 after using it for a year, and talk about how it has changed our lifestyle and the way we do business.
The Kindle 2 was first announced on February 24, 2009. We placed our order soon after it was announced, but had to wait a couple weeks for it to ship because of the intense demand. Our home looks like a library with books scattered from one end to the next, so we felt this would a good investment. The price we paid was $359 plus extra for incidentals, bringing the total outlay to over $400. Other than missing out on the major price reduction to $259 base price in October, we have not been disappointed.
On a personal note, once we received the Kindle 2, Deb instantly laid claim to the device, and Tom was only granted occasional visitation rights. Deb has since logged several hundred hours of intimate one-on-one time with “Johann,” the name she has given to her Kindle, and the following are thoughts and observations from this extended road test.
If you are still clinging to your love for the printed word, there are several features on the Kindle that make it worth giving up the ink-on-paper version of books.
