check out http://www.bookmonk.com to find free books in the kindle store.

also, for the folders suggestion I’d recommend calling up kindle customer support to request the feature –

In addition to the Kindle directory, I would also like to have a sort in the Kindle store by price, lowest price first. I often look for things that are free and low cost to add to my store of books, but it’s too much to just look and look without having a price sort.

I got the very first Kindle (now model 1) early in December 2007 having ordered it immediately after hearing Jeff Bezos talk about it with Charlie Rose on TV. I really love it, but as i have over 700 books on it in my add-on memory card, I have a problem with the minimum directory system on the Kindle itself. On their website they have a category for genre, which is badly need for sorting on the Kindle itself. Why was this omitted from the Kindle? Why can’t it be added now. I don’t know if it’s on the Kindle 2 or the DX but it’s badly need on all models for people with large numbers of books like me.

Good list, Abhi.

On #7, I updated my entry to include or change what I had there earlier in that I found out that the DX does what the Kindle 2 does AND that the @keys shortcuts work in books and articles also. The difference is that they’re started with the spacebar if the cursor is not in the text body (otherwise start Menu/Search to get the search box), and then after keying in the @shortcut you need to 5-way to the right past ‘find’ to get to “my items” and click on that, for books and articles.

Not saying it’s worth it but it’s available
