Was doing some massive upload (through mail) to my Kindle, and because of Kindle will automatically sync up with the library once connected, so I got ~1000 documents on my Kindle that I do want to get rid of – I only want to download SOME of them to Kindle whenever I want to.
So I put the Kindle on the table beside the keyboard, hit right cursor key, hit down key for 6 times, then OK, and repeat. I did that while I was coding since the Kindle is kind of slow in responding in operation, whhich makes sense as it was not designed to do this kind of job for all the times.
After 2 (!!!) hours I deleted 200~300 documents, which actually was pretty good, then I was tired and want to find some better solution. So I went online searching for some applications … you know the result, nobody’s saying anything about a Kindle “management software”.
Finally I notice there is a USB cable connect my Kindle to the eletricity socket – I kept it charging there as I don’t want to run out battery as those operations ideally will consume a lot power. Then I recalled something, yea, the Kindle can connect to a computer, acting like a USB drive, maybe I can delete from there?
Yes, it works, and it took me no more than 30 seconds to delete rest 600+ documents.
I’m stupid, or stubborn.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
BTW, I had no problem sending massive mails from my Yahoo account to Kindle, but Google blocked me after sending ~200 documents in about 15 mails. I don’t want to blame the policy as I hate abusers more than Yahoo and Google, but I would appreciate Google if it can be as smart as Yahoo, as it can easily determine what I’m doing.
Or maybe Yahoo trusts me just because I’ve been with Yahoo for too long? If this is the case, I have nothing to blame Google but I’m going to use Yahoo more for sure.
Either way Google is a loser, hehe.
