Amazon are having a sale this week, and I have to say I’m a little tempted. You can now get any of 9 Kindle apps for under a buck. I’m not sure I want to play most of these, but at this price I’m willing to experiment.
The sale runs until 27 March.

But not to those of us in Australia, even at full price. Why not?
I interpreted the idea with playing “on the Kindle” very literally. Lately I produced a Kindle-eBook (“Fun Games Pure – Game boards”) just with fields of popular board games (Chess, Nine Men’s Morris, Checkers, Backgammon, Ludo, etc.). This gives the user the possibility to convert his/her Kindle at home or while traveling into a game board. Very simple. Always available. You just need to have a few small playing pieces or chessmen. Or you and your fellow players improvise. Suitable are buttons, beans, pieces of wood, paper, etc. Just anything that does not leave any dirt or scratches on the screen.
Some people think it is silly to play like this on the Kindle. Others think it’s cool.
