A few tips to use your Kindle more effectively:

  1. Install Calibre to manage your Kindle Library. It's really useful to convert books and sync it with your device. You can use http://www.pdf4kindle.com/ or http://www.epub2mobi.com/ to convert books too.

  2. You can email a PDF as an attachment to your free.kindle email address with 'Convert' in the subject line. Amazon automatically converts the PDF to the kindle format and sends it to your Kindle. I've found this very useful when I need to read academic papers; staring at a backlit screen all the time can really strain your eyes.

  3. Finally, you can take clippings as you read. These are really useful when you need to revise. Use http://www.clippingsconverter.com/ to sync your clippings.

  4. http://libgen.io/ is really the best resource for books. As I mentioned earlier, in case you really need a book an unable to find it, just send me an email.
