I want my annotations from my kindle 2 to be exported into, for example: Microsoft Word. I was curious if this was possible, and if so, how to do it. Thanks in advance!

You need to do whispersync with your Kindle 2 device first. See "Managing Your Synchronization Settings" section on the official page here for details:

I am planning on buying a Kindle and I’m trying to prepare all of my ebooks to load them.

Are ebook files in a Kindle all stored in a single folder, or can they be separated into folders?

If they can be separated into folders, is there a limit on how many sub folders you can have?

Thanks!

The Kindle does not use folder but use similar thing. In the latest update of the Kindle, you can organize the books in collections, as you can see here:

And the section "Sorting Content and Using Collections" on the official page here on how to make use of the Collections:

I love my Kindle reader very much, btw. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:

My mom is going to get me the Kindle reader as a Christmas gift and we wanted to know how do you buy the books on it? Thank you for helping us.

See here for details on how to buy books on the Kindle reader:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fhelp%2Fcustomer%2Fdisplay.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26nodeId%3D200375550&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

Actually you should just buy the Kindle device first. You can then shop directly through your Kindle device for ebooks, or you can buy books through PC computer and copy them to the Kindle.

BTW, there are some websites like these two, where you can find more than ten thousand free books for the Kindle. So no need to go to library to borrow them, you can actually own them:

Is there a function on the Amazon Kindle to define words without leaving the book you are reading? Example.. I am reading "The Road" and on page 26 there is a word i don’t understand.. Can i just select that word and it auto defines it for me?

If I can’t how would i go about defining words in the kindle?

Yes, the Kindle has a dictionary to define words without leaving what you’re reading, it just pop out at the bottom of the screen.

I love my Kindle very much, btw. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it, it also mentions about the dictionary function:

My first Kindle broke so I have gotten a new one, but I can’t figure out how to sync my old books onto it. Anyone know how?

Just see the question "Can I share content with other Kindles?" in the official FAQ here, there are full steps for this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fhelp%2Fcustomer%2Fdisplay.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26nodeId%3D200127470%26ref_%3Dhp%5Ffaq%5Fshare%5Fcontent&tag=elec-m-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

My Kindle’s screen recently broke, and from a little googling there are some articles that say that Amazon offers replacements for such occurrences. However after checking on their website and around the net I haven’t found out precisely how to do so. Any help?

I suggest you to contact Amazon, they may be able to offer you a replacement:

Okay, I wanna surprise my Mom for her Birthday. If I buy a kindle, do i have to pay money for every book i read?

Yes, you have to pay extra for books, but books on the Kindle are cheaper than actual books. All books for the Kindle can be found here:

http://www.amazon.com/b?node=1286228011&tag=elec-m-20

I own the Kindle 2, so let me give you some of my opinions. It is a great device, and I’ve to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far! And since Kindle books are cheaper than actual books, I think I’ve saved around $120 on buying books already.

One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…

I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books… Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don’t feel tired… And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big enough bookshelf… And like to do bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookup without any additional thing but a Kindle.

There are quite a lot of free books (tips: if you’re outside the U.S. all the books will have US$2 added, but when you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable), and many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:

I have a Kindle reader and I found a book on Amazon I wanted to read… However this book is unavailable in the US due to copyright issues. I wanted to try changing my country so that I could buy this book in a place where it wasn’t unavailable. Will changing my country affect my purchased books, and will it result in any negative consequences? And can it be reversed?

You need to have a credit card and an address registered to that country as well or I believe it won’t let you purchase anything.

I want to also know specific feedback on other e-book readers, including the one launced in India- how do they compare to the kindle?

Yes, the free wireless service of the Kindle works in India as well. You can go to the Kindle homepage, click the link inside the box " Live Outside the U.S.?", then choose India to see how it is supported in your country:

I’ve also compared the Amazon Kindle and other ebook readers, in another answer here. Guess you’ll find interested:
