  WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AND HOW TO USE A KINDLE:

To get the most out of your Amazon Kindle, you'll need to create an account with Amazon.com. It's a free process -- all you'll need is a valid e-mail address. Once you have an account, you can register your Kindle with Amazon. This gives you access to the Kindle Store through Amazon's wireless network, called Whispernet.  

The Amazon Kindle's modem gives you wireless access to an electronic store that includes more than 1 million books, newspapers and magazines [source: Amazon]. Amazon provides the wireless service for free -- you won't have to pay a subscription to access it. The Kindle allows you to buy books directly from the device. Alternately, you can browse books in the Kindle store using your computer's Web browser and purchase them from your computer. Amazon will send the electronic books directly to your device. You can also browse several blogs online.

You don't need to own a computer to use the Kindle. That's one feature that sets Kindle apart from some of its competitors. You don't have to sync the Kindle to another machine to transfer files. It's independent and you can browse, sample, purchase and download titles from the Kindle itself.

The files you access with a Kindle are in a proprietary format with the extension AZW. Amazon also can convert several other types of files into the AZW format so that the Kindle can read them. These file types include: Text (.txt) files | Unprotected MOBI files (.mobi o­r .prc) | PDF files, Word documents (.doc) | HTML files | Image files that include JPEG, GIF, BMP and PNG formats

Each Kindle has a unique e-mail address. You can send compatible files to your Kindle by e-mailing them directly to the device. Amazon charges $0.10 for each file. If you want to avoid the fee, you can e-mail the files to a special address at the free.kindle.com domain for free conversion, and Amazon will convert the files and send them to the e-mail address associated with your Amazon account. To transfer files from your Amazon account to your Kindle, you'll need to connect the device to a computer using the USB cable. This is one of the few times you'll have to connect your device to another machine.

INVALUABLE INFO:  Every purchase you make from Amazon goes into a special folder called 'Your Media Library'. Amazon uses a cloud storage model where the file lives on one of Amazon's computer servers. That means even if you delete a book from your Kindle to conserve space, the record of your purchase will still exist on Amazon's servers and you can download the book again to your Kindle at no additional fee.

Travel Tips

Hotel safety and security is practically non-existent, so you need to take charge of the situation when you travel. Check out a hotels security by
contacting them by phone, fax or email and ask these questions: do they have electronic door locks; is there secure room key control; is  there a fire alarm and sprinkler system.  These items are not to be taken for granted.  Hotels in Europe and around the globe are old and the
updating of these buildings that are a few hundred years old is tricky at best.

If you are going to rent a car, you want to make sure that the hotel has underground or other parking available, and find out where the parking is located. Most parking garages in Europe like the buildings that they are housed under, are old, dark and a perfect place to be relieved of your possessions. Tourists are targets for criminals at anytime, any and everywhere. They know that you are unfamiliar with your surroundings, and thus can become an easy target for them. Women in particular are vulnerable, because of size alone, and if you are alone.  The most important thing that a woman can do to protect herself from a would-be thief is to be on guard at all times [day and night].  Thief's are aware of your awareness of your surroundings.  Even if your in a unfamiliar environment, the first thing you learn in basic self-defense -- is awareness of your surroundings and the people.  Glance around, checking things out, notice if someone is hugging up to you, or if someone try's to get your attention to ask you a lame question while another partner is stealing your billfold or purse from you.  Your body language also says a lot to the would be thief, walk with an air of authority, stand and walk tall, with the air of intent purpose.  BE AWARE!
 
Secure Travel Locks Are a Must!
We cannot stress the safety issue enough about keeping your travel documents and luggage secured.  Since security at airports goes through all of your luggage [not just what you're carrying onboard], but the checked baggage as well. There are locks that will assure your baggage stays locked.  Only airport security [not baggage handlers] have a tool that allows them access your bags to check them, and then they will be relocked.
                                        
Secure Your Luggage with Appropriate Locks

If airport security [Transportation Security Administration] needs to inspect your bags, they can access
the contents with secured tools that do not damage the locks, then quickly send them on their way.

Yes, that one is my bag!  Easy Spot Handle Wraps save you from sifting through a jumble of bags on the luggage carousel only to walk away with the wrong one. They're easy to spot and easy to personalize with any permanent marker. Just Velcro one of these brightly-colored, durable nylon grips around a handle or strap, and find your luggage instantly.

The Luggage Seal design is now being used by airport security. They break with just a yank (no need for any cutting tool) and let you know instantly if someone has opened your bag. Great for allowing airport security inexpensive access while discouraging tampering by others.

These sturdy Neon Luggage Tags make it easy to spot your bag! A unique, slide-out information door keeps your address and telephone number hidden, so just your name shows through the clear window. Includes secure, easy-to-use attachment strap.

Once you snap a tiny PrivaSeals (20 pack) on your zippered luggage, no one will be able to open and pilfer its contents without breaking the seal. (Twist off or cut to remove.) A clever way to discourage luggage tampering while still allowing airport security easy access. Individually numbered and packaged twenty to a zip-top pouch.

Retriever Luggage Tags (pair) - over 97% of all missing bags show up within four days. But by that time, you may have left for your next destination. Instead of your bags being sent to your home or office address, these sturdy vinyl tags invite baggage agents (in eight languages) to remove the itinerary you've placed inside, and forward your bag to you while you're still en route. Every checked-in bag should have one.
