If you’re like most people, you probably use your Wi-Fi to stay connected while on the go. But if you’re also a Kindle library borrower, you know that there’s no guarantee that the Wi-Fi signal in your area will be strong enough to load a book. To help extend your Kindle library loans and boost your Wi-Fi signal, try using an antenna booster. These small devices attach to your TV or window and amplify the Wi-Fi signal in your area. And if you’re looking for a way to personalize your home screen, try using keyword-driven wallpaper. This type of wallpaper uses keywords related to what you’re interested in (like books, movies, or music) to create a personalized background image. ..


Once a week we round up some great reader tips and share them with everyone; this week we’re looking at DIY Wi-Fi boosters, indefinitely extending your Kindle library loans, and easy keyword-based wallpaper updates.

Thanks Angie! If you access to the Wi-Fi router, using a booster to direct the signal towards where you are is a great fix.

Keep Your Kindle Library Loans Indefinitely

Max writes in with a sneaky keep-the-books tips:

We’re glad you checked to see that the book was “checked in”, because it would completely break the whole digital lending system if everyone perma-checked-out popular titles. With that cleared up, you stumbled on a rather clever trick!

Obviously, I’ll have to turn my Kindle wireless on at some point, but if you’re reading a book and you really don’t want to “lose” it, you can just turn the wireless off and keep reading it!
