How to print an e-book
Source: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-print-e-book-pages/
New e-reading converts might be surprised to find out that despite the fact that e-books can be read on computers, there’s no real way to print out a page for reference. In the olden days, you could just put a paperback facedown on a copier, but with e-books, it’s a little trickier.
Remember, though, that policies for the many book publishers vary, so review those policies and move forward at your own risk. Distributing copyrighted material without authorization is illegal in many countries. We do not encourage or condone the illegal duplication or distribution of copyrighted content. Before copying or distributing any e-book content, make sure you have the legal right to do so.
If your e-reader offers a Web or desktop reader, like Amazon, Kobo, Sony, and Barnes & Noble, this option is for you.
- Head to your e-reader’s Web site, like Barnes & Noble or Amazon. From there, launch the Web reader or desktop reader software. Amazon and Barnes & Noble, for example, have both of these options. For this tutorial we’ll use the Nook for Web reader.
- Open a book and find the page you want to print.
- Resize the browser (or desktop) window so that it matches the aspect ratio of an 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper. It doesn’t have to be exact; just eyeball it.
- Take a screenshot of the e-book page. In Windows 7 launch the Snipping Tool, drag the cursor to outline the page, and save the screenshot. On a Mac, hit Ctrl+CMD+4 and drag the cursor to outline the page. The screenshot will be saved to your desktop.
- Open the screenshot image file and go to File > Print. In the print dialog, be sure to uncheck any settings that will stretch the image (i.e. “Fit to page.”) Also change the ink settings to print in black (not color or grayscale). Finally, hit print.
- Repeat this process for any other pages you want to print.
If you use the iPad as your e-reader, the process is a little simpler.
- Open your e-reader app, open a book, and navigate to the page you want to print.
- Adjust the layout to display black text on a white background. (This process will vary in every app, but usually it’s in the font adjustment menu.)
- Take a screenshot by holding the home button and clicking the sleep button. Do the same for any other pages you want to print.
- Go to the Camera Roll and hit the action button (the arrow in the upper-right) and tap to select all of the screenshots. When you’re done, tap “Share” in the upper-left, and select “E-mail.” E-mail the screenshots to yourself.
- Head to a computer with printer access, open the e-mail, and download the photos. Open the screenshot image files and go to File > Print. In the print dialog, be sure to uncheck any settings that will stretch the image (i.e. “Fit to page.”) Also change the ink settings to print in black (not color or grayscale). Finally, hit print.

218 Free Romance And Love Ebooks
The romance novel or romantic novel, places its primary focus on the relationship and romantic love between two people, and must have an “emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending.” It focuses on passion, emotion, and the affectionate romantic involvement of the main characters. It can also be labeled as the expressive and pleasurable feeling from an emotional attraction towards another person often associated with sexual attraction. In traditional literary terms, a narration of the extraordinary exploits of heroes, often in exotic or mysterious settings. Most of the stories of King Arthur and his knights are romances. The term romance has also been used for stories of mysterious adventures, not necessarily of heroes.
Romance fiction is smart, fresh and diverse. Whether you enjoy contemporary dialogue, historical settings, mystery, thrillers or any number of other themes, there’s a romance novel waiting for you. Some of the main characteristics of romantic literature include a focus on the writer or narrator’s emotions and inner world; celebration of nature, beauty, and imagination; idealization of women and many other traits that bind the most basic romantic elements together.
Romance fiction
is smart, fresh and diverse.
Romanticism in the other hand is a style of art and literature during the late 18th and early 19th centuries that emphasized the imagination and emotions. Romanticism, unlike the other “isms” is more intellectual. The term itself was coined in the 1840s, in England, but the movement had been around since the late 18th century, primarily in Literature and Arts. The basic idea in romanticism is that reason cannot explain everything.
Romance sub-genres include contemporary romance, historical romance, romantic suspense, paranormal romance, science fiction romance, fantasy romance, time-travel romances, inspirational romance, multicultural romance, erotic romance.
- Contemporary romance, the largest of the romance novel subgenres, is set in the time when they were written, and usually reflect the mores of their time.
- Category romances are short, usually no more than 200 pages, or about 55,000 words.
- Historical romance (also historical novel) is a broad category of fiction in which the plot takes place in a setting located in the past.
- Regency romances are a subgenre of romance novels set during the period of the British Regency (1811–1820) or early 19th century.
- Medieval romance literature, a style of heroic prose and verse narrative current in Europe from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
- Paranormal romance is a subgenre of both romantic fiction and speculative fiction. Paranormal romance focuses on romantic love and includes elements beyond the range of scientific explanation.
- And the list goes on…

What do we think about ebooks (infographic)
Google web search can bring interesting information about what internet users think about electronic books.
Are we still afraid of ebooks? Which benefits are we most interested in? Which features are most needed? Are our attitudes towards digital books evolving?
It turns out Google web search can be a useful source of information. One of its features, Google Instant, suggests search phrases as you type.
The suggestions are based on popular searches. It means the four results you see in the drop down menu under the search box are the most common questions asked by internet users.
We asked Google four questions, starting with “will ebooks,” “are ebooks,” “can ebooks,” and “do ebooks.” We did it four times – in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017.
The results are presented in an infographic below, and if you’d like to further explore the topic, here are the previous highlights:

How to Use Kindle Create to Convert Word Documents to Kindle eBooks (Video)
Kindle Create is a new tool that was recently released for Amazon’s Kindle direct publishing platform, along with the Kindle Create Add-in for Microsoft Word.
Kindle Create is a free program designed to help transform a manuscript written in Microsoft Word or PDF format into a nicely-formatted Kindle ebook that’s ready to sell in the Kindle store.
The Kindle Create software can detect chapters and help layout a table of contents.
You can choose different theme templates for common styling elements, and preview how the book will look on a phone, tablet, and Kindle.
Kindle Create also supports enhanced typesetting for advanced layout features.
Amazon KDP uploaded a YouTube video a couple days ago showing how to use Kindle Create with Word files (.doc, .docx).
The software works with PDFs as well but it’s recommend that you use Word files when possible. PDF files get published as Kindle Print Replica books instead of regular Kindle ebooks with adjustable font sizes and such.
Kindle Create is still in beta and is available to downloaded for PC and Mac from the Kindle Create page. Currently it only works with English language books.

How to Connect Kindle Fire to TV – eReader Palace
Tablets are some of the gadgets whose popularity has been increasing rapidly in the recent years. In fact, analysts in the technology world are predicting that tablets will be the future. There are different types of tables of different sizes, brands and operating systems. Amongst all these tablets the ones that are most popular are those whose screens are seven inches. The Kindle Fire family falls into this category which it is one of the most used seven inches tablets.
This particular tablet comes from Amazon who is well known for having quality products. The manufacturer initially entered the tablet market with the Kindle Fire. Once it was released it became very popular where it had a lot of positive reviews from users. Despite all the popularity, it has the problem of that it cannot be directly connected to a TV. So if you have a Kindle Fire and you want to be watching movies and playing games on a TV, you will not be able to do so.
By the way, if you want to watch the latest TV shows and movies with freaky cheap price, you can consider the Amazon Prime 30 days free trial, where you can conveniently get all the latest movies and TV shows you want.
In the following part, I will introduce how to connect Kindle Fire to TV as easy as a breeze.
Among all generations of Kindle Fire, only the Kindle Fire HD released in 2012 generation is different than others, so I will write the guide in two parts.
Connect Kindle Fire HD (2012 released) to TV
First of all, you need to know the exact model of your Kindle Fire. Please read this post to figure out which model of Kindle Fire you are using.
The Kindle Fire HD released in 2002 is endowed with micro HDMI port which you can use to mirror the screen to TV. In case you have been searching on the internet for details on how to connect the Kindle Fire HD to PC then you are in the right place for I am listing all the possible methods you can use to do the connection and be able to view big graphics on your TV.
The only thing you will need to do this connection is a standard HDMI to standard HDMI cable. The AmazonBasics HDMI has higher speed and therefore it is the most ideal option to use.
After getting this cable you then need to connect it between the micro-HDMI port on your Kindle Fire HD and the HDMI port on the TV. This will provide you with the fast and seamless connection between your TV and Kindle Fire HD where you can enjoy viewing the content from your Kindle on the TV.
Connect Kindle Fire to TV – all other models
Except the 2012 generation Kindle Fire HD, all other Kindle Fire generations released so far only has micro-USB port. So a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable won’t work on these models.
In this case, you’ll need a micro-USB to HDMI cable, below is a one I would recommend.
There are many other choices, you can choose from this category.
Once get a micro-USB to HDMI cable, you just need to connect your Kindle Fire to TV with the cable. The following job is exactly the same with the previous part.
Your TV doesn’t have an HDMI port?
For the micro-HDMI or micro-USB to HDMI connection to work, you need to have an updated TV which has a HDMI port and supports the analog signal. In case your TV is the old model then you need to acquire the a that can convert the digital signal into analog.
You can easily get such a box from Amazon where you get to choose the particular box that suits your needs perfectly.
If you don’t like this one, you can choose the other options in this list.
After selecting the right box you just need to use the cable you have already acquired to do the connection.
Everything is straight forward where you do not need to have any special technical skills to do the connection. You just need to follow the outlined instructions without failure. After completing you will be able to mirror the Kindle Fire HD to your TV and therefore be able to enjoy watching movies, playing games and watching TV shows on your big TV instead of the small screen of the Kindle.
Already bought a Fire TV?
Fire TV is Amazon’s Streaming Media Player, it works like Google’s ChromeCast or Apple’s Apple TV. It’s a box which connected to a normal TV, then your TV can use Fire OS.
So you can easily mirror/stream the contents from Kindle Fire to Fire TV wirelessly, just make sure Kindle Fire and Fire TV are connected to the same WiFi network.
The steps are simple:
- Open your Kindle Fire, swipe down the screen and choose “Settings”.
- In “Settings” page, choose “Display & Sound”, then choose “Display Mirroring”, then the Kindle Fire will seek connectable device in the same WiFi network.
- If everything goes well, you shall see your Fire TV displayed in the devices list.
- Choose your Fire TV, the your Kindle Fire and Fire TV will be connected.
Genrally speaking, it takes around 20 seconds to see your Kindle Fire’s screen on your Fire TV.

How to Copy, Paste and Cut on Kindle Fire Tablet – eReader Palace
Copy, paste, and cut are all normal operations we will do on a computer, no matter Windows, macOS or Linux.
As more and more people are engaging with tablet computers, and Kindle Fire is one of the most popular tablet computer models. Do you know how to copy, paste, or cut on Kindle Fire?
When browsing on websites, we always need to copy and paste information from web browsers to local document.
When processing documents we might need to cut and paste texts from one place to another.
How to copy and paste on Kindle Fire
As mentioned above, in this scenario always happen on web browsers. So I will take Kindle Fire’s built-in Silk Browser as example.
Press and hold on browser’s texts area for 2-3 seconds
Press on any text on the web page, then this word will become blue background color, and there are two blue selector on each side.
Tap and hold on the selector, and move it, you can change the selecting range of the texts.
Like the screenshot above, I’ve selected the entire paragraph by moving the selectors.
After selecting texts, you can see a toobar on the top side. There are some options, like “Copy”, “Share”, “Select All”, and “Web Search”.
We choose “Copy”.
Paste selected texts in a document
To create and edit document on Kindle Fire, I recommend WPS Office app. In my personal point of view, it’s the best free office app on Kindle Fire.
Open any document by WPS Office, then press and hold on any place of the document, a new toolbar will pop out.
Choose “Paste” then you can paste the copied texts out.
How to cut and paste on Kindle Fire
In web browser app you are not able to cut content, in most of situations, you can only cut texts in an office app. So I also take WPS Office app as an example.
Select the text you want to cut
Press and hold on the text you want to cut, then a toolbar will pop up, but there is no cut option.
Because you need to select the words you want to cut at first, so we choose “Select”.
Like in Kindle Fire web browser app, the word selectors will display, the selected words will become blue. Please move the selector to adjust selecting text range.
Paste the cut content
After selecting the target content, now we can choose “cut” options, then the selected content will be gone.
Then press and hold on the place you want to paste the content. For example, I want to cut the content and paste it to a new paragraph, below is the result.
