From the Author: 5 Things I Love About the Kindle Fire
 |
1. Content, Content, Content!
Kindle Fire is intended to be a device you use to consume media, meaning that you can play/read all kinds of music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, e-books, magazines, and newspapers. Amazon has built up a huge amount of content, from print and audio books (1,000,000 titles and counting in the Kindle Store) to movies and TV shows (100,000), music (17 million songs), and hundreds of your favorite magazines. Count on these numbers to have risen by the time you read this! Amazon continues to rack up deals with media groups such as Fox Broadcasting and PBS on a regular basis to make even more content available.
You can also find various kinds of content in the Amazon store using the Store button in Video and Music libraries that you access through the Kindle Fire Home screen. Tap Newsstand to shop for periodicals; Music to shop for songs and albums; tap Video to go directly to the Amazon Video store; and tap Apps to shop the Amazon Appstore for Android. All the content you purchase is backed up on the Amazon Cloud. The ability to quickly and easily access all this content and play it back or display it on your Kindle Fire is probably the main reason why this great little device could give iPad a run for its money.
2. Free Cloud Storage
Although Kindle Fire has less storage space (8 GB) than some competing tablets, that amount of storage will probably work just fine for you. That’s because when you own a Kindle Fire you get free, unlimited cloud storage for all digital content purchased from Amazon (but not content that you copy onto Kindle Fire from your computer). This means that books, movies, music, and apps are held online for you to stream or download at any time, rather than being stored on your Kindle Fire. This storage means that you don’t use up your Kindle Fire memory. As long as you have a Wi-Fi connection you can stream content from Amazon’s Cloud at any time.
Tip:If you’ll be away from a Wi-Fi connection for a bit, you can download content like a TV show or movie to your Kindle Fire to watch while you’re without wireless access. When you’re done watching and back within range of a Wi-Fi network, you can remove the content to free up space on your device. The content is still available in the cloud and can be downloaded or streamed again anytime you like.
3. The Size
Sporting a 7-inch display and weighing only 14.6 ounces, Kindle Fire is lighter and smaller than the iPad and other popular tablets on the market. That smaller, lighter form factor makes the Fire easier to hold with one hand. In addition, Kindle Fire is that much easier to slip into a tote bag or laptop case. You don’t really need to prop it up with a fancy stand because you can easily hold it with one hand and tap the screen to get things done with the other.
The Price
Kindle Fire costs much less than the lowest priced iPad: $199 versus $499. At the top end, you’ll pay $829 for a 64 GB, 3G iPad. Granted Kindle Fire doesn’t offer a 3G option, and has no camera, and though it’s inexpensive, it’s a very well made device that offers just about all the functionality of the competition in the booming tablet market. How does Amazon offer a quality device at this low price? Quite simply they're making a bet that they’ll make up for what they lose on the cost of the hardware with content sales. And with all the content available, you, the consumer, are the big winner in the end!
5. Amazon Prime
Finally, Kindle Fire comes with one free month of Amazon Prime. Now I’ve been an Amazon Prime member for years so I can tell you firsthand that this service is one of the best deals out there. During your free month, Prime will allow you to get lots of perks such as free two-day shipping on thousands of items sold through Amazon.
If you decide to pick up the service after your free month, it will cost you $79 US a year. So just what do you get for your money?
Prime includes a ton of Prime Instant Video, movies and TV shows that you can watch absolutely free. And, these shows aren’t the dregs either: there’s some pretty awesome entertainment included in Prime Instant Video. You also get free two-day shipping on millions of items and overnight shipping for only $3.99. Not every item offered on Amazon is eligible for Prime, but enough are that it's a wonderful savings in time and money over the course of a year. In fact, you can probably pay for your membership with the free shipping on the first two or three orders you place, and getting your Prime-eligible stuff in only two days every time is super sweet.

Lazy Passive Earnings - How to Buy Income Producing Websites and Replace Your Job! (Work from Home Series)
AMAZON BESTSELLERDETAILS
Like most marketers, you have probably made a little money from lots of effort but not enough to “give up the day job” and live that dream. Building websites, writing articles, affiliate marketing, building backlinks – they all rely on continuous work to either build traffic or generate a product or service. It's hard work and can be soul destroying. Sound familiar?
What you need is a business model which can be easily learned, gives instant cash flow and is easy to carry out. It should also provide a means of providing continuing income without substantial work on your part.
The good news is that such a business model exists. That model is buying pre-existing websites which are already earning money. The trick is to buy the right websites and to carry out the required due diligence before you buy. This book shows you how - step by step.
Lazy Passive Earnings is a straightforward guide which shows you the step by step process and explains how you can generate an independent income quickly and easily with minimal risk by buying income producing websites. The advantage of this is that you save yourself the pain of building a site, adding content, driving traffic and then trying to monetize it.

"This is a book with a difference. My aim is simple. To tell the story, as it happened, of how I created an income stream for life. It can be your story too, with some work and the right approach.
The account is no frills, if you want bullshit then put this book down and go elsewhere.....the internet is full of people feeding lies and half truths to extract your hard earned cash.
This account tells what happened, warts and all, when I decided to create myself an income stream which was sufficient to replace my full time job. Read it and use your brain to put together your own plan.
Let me start by outlining why I wanted to do this and what prompted my actions.
During my late forties I started to realize that what I wanted most in life was the freedom to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. In my case that meant more time with family and friends, swimming, playing pool, travelling to warmer destinations, eating out, reading and working.
Now that last item might come as a surprise but let me explain. Work for me means doing something that is challenging, enjoyable and which allows me to support my family in a decent manner. The problem was that I did not want to spend up to half the available hours each week just working. This left too little time for the other enjoyable activities that I described earlier.
I started to dabble with internet marketing a few years ago and through a combination of writing, website building and affiliate marketing I earned around $5000 over three years. Not really life changing income but enough to"AMAZON BESTSELLER

The Captain (Captain's Founding)
a book about a guy who gets hijacked by aliens, and a very rude artificial intelligence computer that runs the ship."Granted, i'm used to waking up in strange places. I have woken up in jails, strange bedrooms, cars, trains, and in one case a haystack, even though I had always lived in the city and wouldn't know what to do on a farm if I could find one. I still don't know how I got there, but that's another story. A few times I have even woken up in my own apartment.
This place was like a jail, but it wasn't one I’d ever been in, and it certainly wasn't one in good old Dallas...I’m pretty familiar with those, and they don't have clean floors, or an open doorway without bars. They definitely have a certain, well, stench, that this cell lacked. It smelled of nothing but me, which was not bad, but you expect a bit of Lysol or something. I looked around, and nothing seemed too odd at first. There was a bed, which I was lying on. Not very soft, but at least it was long enough, with a pillow. Four walls, one of which had a door. One wall to the back of the cell had a counter, and three frames on it, one large and touching the ground, one about head height, and the other on the wall right above the shelf, almost part of it, with a slot below it and a hole to the right.
Getting out of the bed was no problem, although I still could not remember why I was there, or what I had been doing to get me there. Not a hospital, certainly...there would have been nurses, doctors, machines making noise, tubes stuck in me, and at least one other bed with someone else in it as I didn't have insurance and would have been put in a ward with other people. No broken bones or bruises that would have indicated a rowdy night out after being paid. My clothes were intact, boots, jeans, worn flannel shirt loose over a t-shirt advertising “Bobs Burgers...Best in the South” that I had picked up at the Goodwill store for 50 cents. Wallet....check. Car keys....missing. Oh yes...that had been repo'ed last week, so they weren't actually missing. Where-ever I was, I was gonna be Mr Walky once again unless they had a great bus system.a book about a guy who gets hijacked by aliens, and a very rude artificial intelligence computer that runs the ship.
