This is a revelation and makes reading on a computer completely viable for the first time. There's also a handy full-screen button which hides the Mac menu bar so all you see is two pages of a book. Now, with adjustable line length, font sizes and side-by-side columns, the app can be customised to fit a near-full screen window. That has changed in the latest version of Kindle for Mac and the two-column view (similar to that in the pioneering iBooks app) makes a world of difference. The text is clear enough, but to achieve a satisfactory line length it's necessary to run the app in a window rather than full-screen.
KINDLE FOR MAC LAPTOP PRO
Previously I've tried reading my Kindle books on the iMac or MacBook Pro and it wasn't the best of experiences. You can read a chapter here, a few paragraphs there and all your devices know precisely where you are up to. Thanks to Whispersync, your Mac, your iPhone, your Kindle and anything else you own will be in sync. The first thing to bear in mind is that the Amazon Kindle eco-system works on almost every computing and mobile platform known to man. In my case it's probably nearer to 99 percent. Kindle readers rule the roost, though, because they do 66 percent of all their reading in digital form. If you combine the netbook and laptop figures you have 45 percent of book reading being done on a computer rather than on a dedicated reader or phone/tablet. Strange, this: Research by Forrester last week showed that 35 percent of electronic book reading is done on a laptop, followed by 32 percent on a Kindle, 15 percent on an iPhone, 12 percent on a Sony e-reader and ten percent on a netbook. Enter the new updated Kindle for Mac* application which, for the first time, adds double-column reading.
What you don't hear a lot about is reading books on a Mac or PC. And a growing number of keen readers are perversely attracted to the iPhone or iPod touch as the always-in-your pocket solution. Some swear by the iPad, others are convinced an e-ink reader such as the Amazon Kindle is the only answer. I believe there is at least one wireless solution for connecting your Kindle to your Calibre, but in the end I stuck with using the USB connection, as by the time I need to move some books around, I need a recharge, so i get a two for one deal (load and charge).We've spent a lot of time discussing the ideal electronic device for reading books. Once a week or so, I sit down at the PC, remove some books from my Kindles, mark them as read on Calibre (tag 'read'), add some new books to the appropriate kindle ('paperwhite' for reading in bed, 'keyboard' for text to speech while commuting) and tag the books I am currently reading in Calibre by the device they are on.
KINDLE FOR MAC LAPTOP DOWNLOAD
My 1263 (current count) works are stored on Calibre, I download from Amazon, Smashword, Baen, Project Gutenberg, etc. I won't go into all it's advantages but, essentially it is your own personal library, that you can organize and store you books on, regardless of where it comes from. The only disadvantage the Calibre has it is a bit more difficult to connect wirelessly to your collection. I searched for solutions and read many articles & blogs, I strongly desired an Amazon/Kindle solution, the majority pointed to a single solution which I eventually adopted. I was trying to keep track organized with an Excel book. I personally have some OCD issues that require my books be in some kind of order that is not primary based on who I bought it from and when.
If you have works from anyplace else, then the prospects get worse. If every book on your devices is from Amazon, then you can do some organizing at 'Your Account' > 'Manage Your Device' > 'Your Kindle Library' or by using the cloud. I am guessing you have already found Amazon's Organizing Your Kindle Content.
