Windows 10: Kindle users inc new paperwhite with audio book playback

Hi folks

The new Kindle paperwhite with Audio book playback - brilliant --still works with Calibre (Free e-book management program) as do the older kindles.

calibre - E-book management

Excellent e-book manager -- convert epub to mobi / azi3 etc so you aren't restricted to e-books only from amazon. Brilliant free software

Works on Windows 10 including latest skip ahead builds etc.





I'm running it on Linux but identical interface on windows -- converting a whole slew of Michael Connelly (Harry Bosch etc !!) books from epub to mobi for kindle

Cheers

Kindle Paperwhite usb issues

I have a Kindle Paperwhite which was working fine until I updated to Windows 10. Now the kindle can charge through both USB ports but does not recognise the device so I am unable to update or add books. I have contacted Amazon who confirmed my Kindle software
is up to date so no problems their end. I am sure all the updates for my laptop are also updated too.

I had a similar problem with my Iphone7 and simply had to reinstall that but I cannot find an option to do this for the Kindle.

Any suggestions welcome and appreciated! Thanks

 

Kindle paperwhite users - even ist gen


Hi folks

If you like kindles and are using an older paperwhite version Amazon has released software / firmware update -- has much nicer interface, extra fonts including the new Bookerly which makes it almost identical to real paperback font, you can adjust the size of the fonts much more gradually (more steps) plus brightness of device and you can optionally display your local time (optionally) while reading. Search is better too.

Works even on old paperwhites (it might update two times), 1 if device software was earlier than 2016 to the 2016 update and then to the latest version which is what you need.

Can be done either from the device itself (enable wifi and switch off and on again) or download from Windows with kindle attached to computer.

Well worth the software update if just for the bookerly font.

I use these a lot when travelling - much better than squawking at small mobile phone screens and saves carrying a load of paperbacks around if you enjoy reading.

BTW you aren't limited to amazons books only -- Calibre (great Free program) will convert epub etc into amazon MOB and AZI3 Formats.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update – Blue Screen with Kindle Paperwhite

After the Windows 10 anniversary update last week, every time I plug in my Kindle Paper to the USB 3 port I get a Blue Screen with the Stop Code: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED partmgr.sys.
Before the update I had no problems with the Kindle Paperwhite and Windows 10.

Problem Solved - After a series of Windows 10 updates, I tried attaching the Kindle Paperwhite again and it worked. (Nov. 21, 2016)
