Text Sites better to navigate with the Kindle-Detroit Free Press

QUESTION: I'm interested in buying a Kindle. I heard that it has a built-in Web browser. How useful is to Web-surfing?


Reply: The Kindle Browser based on the same engine as Google Chrome, but lacks tabbed browsing, support Flash and colour you'll want to use it primarily for text-based site, but it can also access websites like Google Maps. You can also check Web-based emails from Yahoo and Gmail. Just keep in mind that cannot always be stable. When you use it, do it through a Wi-Fi connection. The Kindle has 3 g, but Amazon prefers that the high-speed cellular connection is used for downloads catalog only.


Q:quero upload photos to share. I also have the option to order printed photos later. What is a good photo-sharing service online?


A: For sharing basis, Facebook is probably your best bet. Facebook has recently updated its photo hosting features. In addition, it integrates the popular photo sharing service Flickr. For printing and sharing, Picasa from Google is a good bet. It's easy to create sharable web albums. Google has an excellent desktop photo organizer, free. It integrates closely with the Web version of Picasa, which lets you print photos using a number of popular print services.


Q:eu'm having family over for a meeting. I would like to configure my computer with some games for children, but I have a Mac. Are there any free games for it?


A: There are a number of free games available for Mac, and most are age-appropriate. You can get a beautiful game platforms side-scrolling as "Frogatto". For architecturally inclined, there are "Lego Digital Designer". "Frets on Fire" is a good substitute "Guitar Hero" for budding musicians. And finally, you can try "FlightGear," that is a Flight Simulator. It helps to have a joystick for that one. These games are available for computers running Windows. Find links at komando.com/news.


Q: my mom wants to self publish a book about my father's military career. What would be the best way to do this?


A: The Internet offers many avenues for self-publishing. You'll probably want a print on demand service. These print books only when they are ordered. Three good candidates are Lulu, Blurb and CreateSpace. Each has a different method for submitting books. Do your research and choose one that fits your style of book. Also, check the prices carefully, as they change by book size and length. All three services have online shops for the sale of your book. Just Note that take a cut of every sale.
