Most people assume their Amazon Kindle is just for reading. While that is its purpose, this nifty e-reader has many more tricks up its sleeve.
Play games on your Amazon Kindle
Take a break from all the reading and download a game to give your mind a rest. Kill some time with Scrabble, Sudoku, or rack your brain trying to complete the latest New York Times crossword.
Send Documents To Your Amazon Kindle
If you want to read some of your documents, you can do it on the e-reader rather than strain your eyes on the smartphone. Amazon has a Send to Kindle feature for PC, Mac, and mobile that makes it easy to send Word documents, PDFs, and more to your device.
Take a screenshot
Few know this feature is present on the Kindle. To take a screenshot, tap the two opposite sides on the display. The Kindle will then take the screenshot. To retrieve the screenshots, just connect your Kindle to the laptop via USB and they will be there.
Extract Your Highlighted Text
On a Kindle, you can use the touchscreen to highlight text. However, referring to them later can be a hassle. A handy feature is that you can export everything you have selected. Your Kindle creates a .txt file of all your highlights, complete with citations that you can easily access from any computer via USB.
Reformat PDFs For the Amazon Kindle
There are moments you will need to go through essential documents while you are on the go. Make use of K2pdfopt. For those who do know, it can reformat pdfs. The output makes the document much more readable on the Kindle.
Automatically Sync Books From Dropbox
Bookdrop lets you sync a Dropbox folder to your Kindle. This means all your eBooks and documents are automatically loaded onto your device whenever you are connected to Wi-Fi.
