Feedbooks Downloading Guide for the Kindle

Hadrien, co-founder of Feedbooks.com, left me a message recommending using the Feedbooks Kindle download guide as the easiest way to add public domain titles to the Kindle.

Using the Kindle's built-in web browser, I went directly to the file for the guide at http://www.feedbooks.com/kindleguide.mobi and downloaded the document into my Kindle.

Then I opened the file on the Kindle and found lists of public domain classics - one list in alphabetical order by book title and another in alphabetical order by author's name.

Then all I had to do was to select a title and download it right from the guide. Marvelous! I downloaded Alice in Wonderland in a matter of seconds. The version of Alice from Feedbooks even includes chapter titles.

The only difficulty I see in the book list is that titles are filed by complete title even if the title begins with an article like "the" or "a" so if you are looking, for example, for S. S. Van Dine's book The Canary Murder Case, it is filed under the letter T instead of under C for Canary, the first important word in the title.

And more good news: This download guide to designed to be self-updating. You click on a link within the guide itself and retrieve the latest version.
