It's easy to get caught up in another world when you have a Kindle in your hands. But just so you know, you can actually take a break from ebook reading and still enjoy your ebook reading device -- by playing Amazon Kindle games.
Available through the Kindle Development Kit, the two word games give Kindle owners a chance to try something new on their Kindles. Now, they're far from being graphically or conceptually great, but they still do a fine job of keeping you entertained especially if you're one to find word games quite challenging.
Shuffled Row
Anyone familiar with the popular game Scrabble, will certainly breeze through Shuffled Row. The player gets a set of letters, with each letter equivalent to a certain number of points. The challenge here is to achieve the highest possible score by using the most number of letters or the less common letters (which have higher points). Once a word is submitted, a new set of letters appear.
Every Word
With Text Twist, the player needs to form as many words as possible with a set of six or seven letters. This may sound pretty simple but you need to remember that there's a time limit for every level. And if you don't want to end the game right away, you need to form the longest possible word and get to the next level.
Are the Kindle games a threat to the current crop of popular games on handheld devices? Far from it.
Obviously, with a device that's been primarily designed for ebook reading, it's not likely that anyone will get totally hooked on these word games. Still, they're a good way to test your vocabulary skills and considering that they're free, you really have nothing to lose if you download them to your Kindle.
The Amazon Kindle games are cool, but there's even more you can do with your Kindle. For more Kindle tips and tutorials as well as the latest news on ebook readers, visit us at http://ebookreadersresource.com.
