This post is alittle off of the normal posts. But this is a great and wonderful post for all and now for the use of your essential oils. Think about it. Not only can you use it for your survival information, load all your essential oil information onto your kindle. There are so many e books out there for using oils, essential oil green cleaning recipes, using coconut oil with recipes , essential oil beauty recipes, on and on and on. That way where ever you go you will have your essential oil information with you. And if you are where you have some time, you have your books with you so can read and catch up on your education of oils. I love my kindle and find new books every day. And there are times when you can find the books for free. Research about the kindles. Some will hold more than others, and a couple will hold a charge for a month or so. There are so many options, you can pick the right one for you.
I know if you get a kindle for your oils you will love it. Information at your finger tips at all times.

Kindle for Survival
This past Christmas I received a Kindle for Christmas. For those unfamiliar – a Kindle is an electronic book reader. Basically – an entire book with all text and pictures can be stored on the Kindle and read by just clicking a button or two. The text on the screen looks just like what you would see in a book and the graphics look great. Everything is displayed in black & white – however even color pictures look fantastic.
So – you can download numerous books off of Amazon.com placing them onto the Kindle for easy access later. You can also use your computer to transfer any PDF document. What does this mean? This means that besides the thousands of books that you can purchase from Amazon – you can get tens of thousands of PDF documents off the Internet for FREE and place on the Kindle.
What kind of free PDF documents can you get for the Kindle?
- military manuals
- guides
- full books
- magazines
- reference sheets
- basically – anything in pdf format
On my Kindle I have set up a category for specific information related to survival – aptly named – Survival. As I download books from Amazon as well as transfer pdf’s from my PC – I will place them in this category. I suspect that I will have to set up more specific categories like Gardening, Tactical Info, Medical, Wilderness Survival, etc.
Here are a few pictures:

Kindle can also be viewed sideways - great for websites
The Kindle has many adjustments – including zooming in and out to whatever you are looking at (picture/text/website).
Since getting it I have found that the Kindle is capable of much more than I had thought. First – you can access the Internet with it. Now – realize that it does not have the capability of multiple-tabs, flash, or animation/video’s. However – for reading a blog such as SurvivalBlog.com or this one- it works great. It also play music or mp3′s. This means you can download any mp3 such as podcasts and store them on theKindle for listening whenever.
Now – what are some benefits of the Kindle for survival & preparedness?
- Unbelievable amount of material all in one place.
- Easily access and search-able.
- Very portable – can be thrown into a backpack or bug out kit.
- Very long battery life – up to a month on one charge. With the proper equipment – could be easily charged with a small solar panel.
- Relatively inexpensive – starting at $139.
- Can be viewed in full sunlight.
I had one reader mention that they have several of them packed with information and secured in a .50 cal ammo can. You can literally have thousands of books on just one Kindle.
The Kindle is available in different colors, sizes, and versions. For $139 I received a grey model that has wireless access. This version has Internet connection at my house. There is a 3G version for $189 that pretty much has access anywhere – which would be great for traveling.
