This Kindle book is a collection of author’s first 101 posts from his blog “I Love My Kindle” at [...], dated from August 28, 2009 till November 14, 2009. The posts are related mostly to newer generations Kindle 2 and DX. First generation Kindle is also covered, and the parts related to this device are clearly marked. All posts included in the book are freely available, but if like me you are an owner of international version of Kindle and can not subscribe or access this blog from your Kindle, this collection of 101 posts is a very valuable and enjoyable reading.
The posts are very well written, and I enjoyed authors’ clear and humorous style. Being new to Kindle I found interesting and useful information in almost every post. The book has tons of links, but non-US users will be able to use these links only from their Kindle for PC. But as the links point to additional reading this does not affect the value of the book.
Only one negative point this 20091120 edition (November 19, 2009) is formatting issue. No, this ugly cover page shown on Amazon site is not included in the book, and that’s a positive point.
Indeed this electronic book has no Cover Page and starts with the Table of Contents. Unfortunately navigation menu items including “Book Cover”, “Table of Contents” and “Beginning” do point to the same location which is the first line of the Table of Contents. At least the “Beginning” should be linked to “Introduction” or to the first post. Next point: links to the other posts that are indeed include in the book lead to the web blog pages and not to the appropriate sections of the book. Finally, I am not sure is the following formatting-related issue is specific to my Kindle 2: If you browse back from the Introduction into the Table of Contents, first few pages of Table of Content (actually 3-4 final pages of ToC) loose their formatting and look like pages densely and continuously filled with links typed in normal font size instead of having just one entry per line and larger font size. If one hits “Prev. Page” couple times more the formatting is restored. Hopefully these glitches will be fixed in the new edition of the book.
To conclude, this book or collection of posts is excellent, and definitely worth your time and money. Many thanks to Bufo Calvin. I am looking forward to read volume 2.

UPDATE: When writing a review I had difficult time to decide if this Collection should receive 5 stars as I enjoy the book very much, or one star should be taken off due to formatting glitches. After discussion with the author (see comments) I think it would be a good compromise to give it 5 stars while providing the full description of the formatting issues.
