Pfunk4billion Infuriating I’ve used Kindle for years and I have always loved it. However, using it on MacOS is frustrating.

Download the Kindle reader for Mac today and start reading your favorite books. InfoBarrel is a writing platform for non-fiction, reference-based, informative content. Opinions expressed by InfoBarrel writers are their own. One of my favourite apps is Kindle for Mac, but if you’re doing any kind of research or study, the fact that you can only have one book open at a time can be a serious impediment to your workflow.Here’s a few ways round this: 1. Kindle Cloud Reader Probably the easiest and most effective solution is to read your second book in Safari by way of the Kindle Cloud Reader.

When I ordered another book, this time on Python, it was the same wretched experience. I gave up on it a few times, then came back because I already paid for the book and was determined to get through it.

Hope this helps!

(You can also drag in PDFs, but I generally don’t recommend it. Kindle does a bad job with PDFs.) The good news is, Project Gutenberg and many other ebook resources offer downloads in a Kindle compatible format, usually Mobi. Some independent ebook sellers, such as, also sell books in Kindle-compatible format. To copy a book to your Kindle, just drag the file into the Documents folder, eject the Kindle from your Mac, and unplug the USB cable. The book should automatically appear in the list of books on your Kindle. (This is also a great way to add things to your Kindle when the Kindle itself can’t get a data connection.

Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) is an ePub reader that makes it super easy to read digital books on your Mac without having to drag them into an app or upload them to a cloud server. Once ADE is on your Mac, you can select it as the reader for any ePub file, so you can get started reading right away. I use ADE for ebooks that I get from HumbleBundle. I occasionally use it for ebooks I download from my public library, too. It supports all ePub formats and PDF files.

If you want to use a Kindle just for free books from the Internet, you can do it. Oh, one last note: In my previous story I mentioned that Amazon doesn’t let you use custom screensavers on your device, even if you pay for the non-“Special Offers” version. That’s true, but it doesn’t mean you can’t get custom screensavers. You just need to be brave and visit the, where there are details on how to jailbreak various models of Kindle and do things like install custom screensaver images and even swap in new fonts.

Here's what Jack London's Call of the Wild looks like in eReader Pro, again with my Hyde application running in the background: Here's a link to. Mac eReader: Adobe Digital Editions for Mac To be very honest, as a company, Adobe makes me want to puke. To download Adobe Digital Editions, you have to use a Flash widget, some crazy installer, give them your Mac administrator account password, and by the time you're done, all you have is a glorified PDF displayer: Why the heck did they need the administrative password for this? Sorry, but everything about Adobe right now makes me think of the term 'legacy', as in a term people used to describe IBM during their downfall when they just 'didn't get it.'

Downloading an update from Amazon will not help. For now, if you uninstall the application, then install a new copy specifically from the Mac App Store, it will work just swimmingly and you can go on and enjoy your literary ambitions. Some will see undoubtedly see this as some sort of conspiracy on the part of Apple to require that all Mac software be downloaded through the App Store (Apple is, after all, no longer going to carry most software boxes in its stores), especially after Apple just got finished kicking all in-app e-bookstores except its own off its iOS platforms. But I suspect it’s more likely just a bug. In any event, Kindle for Mac users will benefit from knowing about it. Yes its a bug.

• If you don’t have an account, you can register a new account here: If you already have an account, you’ll need to register the Kindle app using your Amazon account email address when you first launch the app. Simply follow the onscreen instructions to register. Once registered, you’ll see your Kindle ebook library.

Command + O is the command to open a selected book. Command t starts and stops reading the book. The only thing about it is that it uses the system voice to read the text of the book. This does not provide a way to have words spelled. The other thing I haven't figured out is a way to navigate to the previous and next word, line or paragraph.

9 Shares Calibre is a great tool for managing your ebook library. It has of, but sometimes one wants to use the file system in one's PC to manage files. Neither Windows nor OSX natively understand Epub or Kindle formats (and why is that, I wonder) and that makes it hard for us to search through files, but luckily I have a solution for Mac users. (I'm still looking for a Windows solution.) and e are two plugins for the OSX Quick Look feature that add support for Kindle and Epub files. They were released by two different developers and work very differently, but both should be added to the toolbox of any ebook developer. According to its developer, QLMobi generates previews in Quick Look based on ebook contents, similar to the actual look in the ebook reader (you can see a preview in the lead post). It looks like this: The other plugin, ePub-quicklook, does a lot more. According to the GutHub listing (which hasn't been updated in over a year), ePub-quicklook has two parts.

П™‚ Featured picture. Well, you probably already have Kindle for iPad, but Amazon’s latest way to offer up your electronic texts, the, could be the way of the future as far as non-App store developers are concerned. Kindle Cloud Reader avoids the app store (and Apple’s 30% cut and other stringent conditions) by serving up your Kindle database through your web-browser. It’s basically a password protected web-site that also allows you to allocate offline storage space on your iPad or Mac OS (it’s not yet available for iPhone). Amazon’s move follows in the footsteps of the this year to sidestep iTunes. Cupertino, I think we have a problem. You might not have noticed, but your Kindle for Mac has probably stopped syncing with Amazon since updating to OS X Lion, even if you have the most recent Kindle update.

The Kindle app stores files, but only downloads them for Amazon-purchased content that you have opened in the Kindle app on that computer. The AZW files are saved in ~/Documents/My Kindle Content. Their names are random-looking (like B0043M4ZH0_EBOK), so it takes a little work to figure out which file corresponds to which book. Here's how you do that: Open the book of interest on Amazon.com (make sure you're looking at the Kindle edition).

Office 2007 mac trial. Will Office 2016 delete Office 2011 when I install it? The only thing is Office 2016 does not appear in your Dock when you install it but you can find instructions how to. No – both the preview and final version of Office 2016 are installed in a different location to Office 2011 so you can keep the latter installed until you feel comfortable that Office 2016 works well for you. No Microsoft release on Mac would be complete without various bugs and issues and note that some users have experienced problems when running the full version of Office 2016 (but bizarrely not with the preview!). Unfortunately, it used to be possible to try the Preview version of Office 2016 before deciding whether to buy but in October 2015, Microsoft withdrew the Office 2016 for Mac preview.

How to convert Kindle to PDF on Mac? First, If you haven't installed Kindle For Mac, click here to download and install Kindle for Mac (this is an essential step). After you have downloaded Kindle for Mac, double click the icon to start Kindle for Mac. If this is the first time you run Kindle for Mac on current computer, Kindle for Mac will prompt you to input your Amazon ID.

As I demonstrated in this you can additionally use Amazon’s to wirelessly transfer content from your Mac to any Kindle you own (including Kindle apps on iOS and Android devices). Also, you can bring Kindle-compatible files to your device by emailing them as attachments to your Kindle’s unique email address. Finally, while Amazon would love for you to purchase ebooks, the store also has a lot of free ones. You may find that the books you’ve downloaded from Project Gutenburg are just as free at the Amazon store. To find out, tap the Store icon at the top of the screen and in the Search field that eventually appears, type in an author you’re interested in, followed by the word “free.” If, for instance, you entered Wodehouse free you’d find 39 results. (I suggest “” as an excellent place to begin.).

The audible folder is where audiobook files from audible.com live. Music is a place where you can put MP3s and then play them back while you’re reading, and even listen via the Kindle’s headphone jack! But the most important folder is documents: this is where all your books, newspapers, and magazines live. If you’ve bought stuff from Amazon and downloaded it onto your Kindle, you’ll see that stuff in the folder.

In “Fullscreen” mode, you can set the maximum and minimum zoom, as well as determine whether the zoomed-in screen moves as you move the cursor. I had the same question. Today (15 November 2018) I updated my Kindle for PC to version 1.23.1 (running on Widows 10) and I am able to zoom in on figures/pictures. Double-clicking on an image moves it into an overlayed window and zooms it a little, double-clicking again zooms it significantly more and you can use a 'hand' tool to pan around. Done zooming?

I have Kindle for Mac installed. I have registered it and downloaded my Amazon purchased books into it. I am trying to locate the actual files of those books on my Mac. I have read that they should be in a folder called 'My Kindle Content' in my Documents folder. However, I have no such folder. I have even searched my drive for 'Kindle' and find nothing.

The only thing good I can say about Digital Editions right now is that I was able to open my ePub file by right-clicking the file and selecting Digital Editions, but interestingly the app itself does not include a 'File/Open' menu item. Impression: This Mac eReader app is half-baked, at best. Despite saying all those bad things about them, here's a link to. Free Mac eReader: Calibre As mentioned in the comments section below, there is another free Mac eReader application named.

Kindle Previewer also shows you how your book will look with the latest typographic and layout improvements that come with. If you're planning on publishing your eBook on KDP, you can also use our Online Previewer to make sure your book meets your expectations before you publish.

Samsung has been one of the most prominent users of this tactic lately with its series of ads showing Apple fans waiting in line for the next new product launch only to be wowed by the latest Samsung product being used by a passerby. Back in 2010, Amazon took on the iPad with a Kindle ad touting its E Ink capabilities that provide superior viewing in direct sunlight.

This is a useful solution if the internet is unavailable or you are not comfortable with removing DRM on your Kindle purchases. The downside is that it’s slow and can be awkward to keep simultaneous notes (one solution here is to enable Dropbox on both user accounts, and save your notes in a file in your Dropbox).

In this case, it's B0043M4ZH0. So, you know that the AZW file with the name B0043M4ZH0_EBOK is The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You can find (and change) the location of your books in the general preferences. Simply choose Preferences from the Kindle menu. In the General tab, you can find an entry Content Folder and a button to change it. This works at least on a fresh installation of Kindle from the App Store, running Mountain Lion.

Much newer versions are on their site, thought every update i get is frustratingly never quite right. There is always something that doesn’t work right. For such an important platform it would be nice if amazon would quit compromising and just spend some money and make some nice software.

Yes, this is a reply to an old thread. The answers I saw didn't work for the operating system abovenoted. I use a MacBook Air with the above operating system.

All files will be decrypted in seconds. Best quality, the same quality as source ebook: • The decrypted files will be saved to another folder and not overwrite the originals.

If you have a collection of ebooks you've purchased from Amazon, or if you are a Prime subscriber, use Kindle for the Mac to read and sync your books across all of your devices. • Free - OverDrive Read.

The Windows and OS X readers offered by Barnes & Noble for their eBook store will attract the curious readers who don't have iPhones and aren't ready yet to commit to a standalone reader. Amazon should be ready to compete for this part of their potential clientele. Even DRM (ugh!) needn't be a stumbling block, since downloaded books could be keyed to machine serial numbers (on a Mac) or Windows ID numbers much like Amazon's iPhone downloads are. I'd like to hear others' opinions, but I certainly would love such a piece of software, especially if I could link it directly to my calibre database.

However I’ve noticed something mildly annoying about the highlighting system So it seems like I’ve discovered a bug that happens when I use a mouse (Logitech Anywhere 2S Mouse) but functions perfectly fine if I use the trackpad. To elaborate in order to highlight something you hold your mouse down until the word is selected and in order to highlight a selection of text like a sentence or paragraph you just drag from the selected region to the end point. However, rather than having an event to finish the highlight when you let go of the mouse it decides to only highlight within a time frame of about a second Which means if I want to highlight a large selection of text I have to try and highlight as fast as I can and try to be accurate at the same time It’s pretty annoying and hopefully will be fixed in future updates. James the Programmer Functional but flawed This is written in from the perspective of a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch. As far as I can tell the app works mostly as intended. The app hasn’t crashed on my yet and I’ve yet to have issues with any of the books I’ve opened. However I’ve noticed something mildly annoying about the highlighting system So it seems like I’ve discovered a bug that happens when I use a mouse (Logitech Anywhere 2S Mouse) but functions perfectly fine if I use the trackpad.

Occasionally, I like to read French literature in French because, well, it’s usually better in French. My French is a little rusty, so I bought a French to English dictionary. On the Kindle, if there is a word I don’t know, I can just touch on that word and instantly get the definition from my French to English dictionary. It happens automatically. With the Kindle App, however, there’s a lot of hassle and the need to download a Google dictionary of some kind. The other thing I like about the original Kindle is the ability to have it read documents that are just text.

After you convert MOBI file to PDF file, it will be opened and recognized on more software. The PDF file converted by this software is a completely standard PDF file.
