What is Kindle MatchBook? A Way to Kill Boredom at Work

Transfer Your Favorite Print Books to Kindle for Free With Kindle MatchBook

OMG! Here is an excellent way to kill time at work. Log onto Amazon and start searching for books you bought back in the day. Yes. Imagine you bought a book from Amazon 10 years ago. Well, now you can have books that you bought in print transferred to your Kindle through the Kindle MatchBook service today for as low as .99 cents! But some are even Free!

Amazon is adding books every day, so yours are bound to make the list. If they aren't available already.

Amazon already has thousands of titles dating back 18 years

I was excited about this. Now, instead of counting the hours on the clock until its time for you to check out, you can actually use your brain to test your memory by trying to remember the books you have in your personal library at home and getting them transferred to your Kindle. For thousands of qualifying books, your past, present, and future print-edition purchases now allow you to buy the Kindle edition for $2.99, $1.99, $0.99, or free.

According to the website:

"MatchBook makes it easy to have both the print and Kindle editions of books you love--reread and rediscover your favorites with features like X-Ray, Popular Highlights, and Whispersync on your Kindle or free Kindle reading apps for phones, computers, and tablets."

"Kindle MatchBook is available on new book purchases, too. More than 70,000 books have been enrolled so far, including Life of Pi, Wool, Johnny Carson, and Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site. Keep checking back, because we'll be adding more Kindle MatchBook titles regularly." 

If this doesnt kill time for you, I don't know what will. 

Happy Searching!

Things to do while stuck in traffic

If you live in an area where traffic is the bane of society, like I do, you can appreciate this list of things to do while stuck in traffic. Please add any ideas you may have in the comment section. The OHW gurus would love to read them.

1. Try to figure out what people's personalized plates mean
2. Take pictures of yourself using your cell phone camera and upload them to FaceBook
3. (since you're using your phone) take pictures of cars you like/dislike
4. Since you're bumper to bumper, roll down your windows and blast your music while singing loud as hell right along with it. (Hey, you're annoyed, why not annoy others?)
5. Do a Chinese Fire Drill
6. Roll down your window and ask the person in the next car whether they have any Grey Poupon
7. Organize your calendar/checkbook
8. Read your Kindle or something
9. Call your least favorite relative that you're obligated to talk to, but hate to, so you never do (now is a good a time as any)
10. Make a list of all the reasons why you commute every day
