This concludes Part 1 of 2 in the series “Download & read Kindle books for free on your PC”. In Part 2, I will show you how to download thousands of full books for free, including classics that you grew up reading!

The interface for Paint.NET is very quick, clean, and intuitive. At first glance, it may just look like Windows Paint on steroids, but I wouldn’t even put them in the same category. This software offers features that come with the expensive Adobe Photoshop software but is easier to use and better yet, FREE!

Some noteworthy features include:

• Layers – this feature usually found on more expensive photo editing tools
• Active Online Community – Their message board has over 18,000 members where you can find numerous of step-by-step tutorials with pictures. Also, you can download many user-created plugins to expand the functionality of Paint.NET for free!
• Automatically Updated – You don’t have to worry anymore if you are missing out on some new features or bug fixes. Paint.NET will automatically install upgrades with a click of a button.
• Unlimited History – Every action you perform can be reverted. No more being stuck with unwanted changes you made!
• Small footprint – Can you believe that a full-fledged photo editing software is only a 4.8 MB download?! Wow!

Download Paint.NET v3.5!

Introducing VirtualBox! You may not have heard of this product before, but don’t get the unfamiliarity fool you. This is a full-fledged competitor to VMware server that will allow you to create various OS instances in a jiffy! Unlike VMware Server, VirtualBox runs on Mac OS and Solaris in addition to Windows and Linux.  Also, the Windows installation package is a paltry 60 MB vs. the 500 MB of VMware Server. What I really dislike about VMware is that it runs as a Apache Tomcat server and the user interface is browser-based which is clunky and a memory hog. Also, VMware Server only allows users to capture a single snapshot whereas multiple snapshots can be taken using VirtualBox. VirtualBox’s interface is also very clean, efficient, and easy-to-use.  See below for screenshots!

GIMP – Free Photoshop Alternative

For those that are not familiar with GIMP, it is a 100% free, open-source photo editing software that is very powerful. Some uses are: resizing, editing, and cropping photos, combining multiple images, and converting between different image formats. GIMP can also be used to create basic animated images in the GIF format.  And of course, you can open and edit your photoshop .PSD files! GIMP is available for Windows, Linux/Unix, and Mac OS.
