My latest eBook with Kindle today – Children of the New World by Alexander Weinstein.
What are you reading today ?
Second year of COVID-19 but another year of good Kindle readings. 15 books I read this year with the device and here are those one-line comments.
For me, the best read this year goes to book #10.
I have been a fan of Kindle eBook reader for over 12 years, and believe it or not, I waited for one simple feature for 12 years. That is – display the book cover of the book I am reading, in the Kindle lock screen instead of random images or advertisements. Following is my Kindle Oasis with the current book I am reading (with the Display Cover option turned on) – “Think Again” by Adam Grant.
Here are the steps to enable that feature, with tips on how to make it work for an “Ad-supported” / “Special Offer edition” Kindle. (Ad-supported Kindle costs US$20 less, but you will see Amazon special offers and advertisements in the lock screen)
The steps, in summary:
All the 5 steps, with a little bit more details. The first step, upgrade the Kindle firmware.
The second step is the tricky part, to remove the “Ad-supported” feature.
Now the last few steps are easy. And here is screen for step 4 … Turn on the Display Cover option (top of the screen).
That’s a wrap and hope you will find it useful. More importantly, have this feature turn on and enjoy the book covers !!
“One common pitfall for large organizations – one that hurts speed and inventiveness – is ‘one-size-fits-all’ decision making.” – 2016 Letter to Shareholders, Amazon
How many decisions you make, today, have to go to the top management ?
Are they big decisions ? Or small ? Did that make your process faster ? Or slower ?
And then it reminds me the great quote from Sir Ratan N. Tata…
Year 2020 is a year of Work From Home, for me it means less time to commute and therefore less time to read. Unlike what I promised last year, I didn’t read books about Artificial Intelligence and Decentralised Identifier. Instead I read books about product management, history, organisational design and even meditation. Here are my books of year 2020.
