User Guide

There is a Kindle User Guide loaded on your Kindle that goes over

the basics of operating the Kindle. You can also view it online at

Lighting

The Kindle screen is not backlit; therefore, you will need to read

the Kindle under a light.

Getting Started

list of genres – select the genre you are interested in reading by

navigating through the menu with the 5-way controller:

When you select your genre, you will see a list of related titles.

The book will open – you can turn the page with the large arrow

buttons on either side of the Kindle screen.

Other Buttons on the Keypad

Pressing [Menu] displays choices that are related to the screen that

you’re viewing – the Menu will be different depending on what

screen you are on. If you are reading a book, Menu will bring up

options for navigating to different sections of the book you’re

reading or accessing a description of the book. If you are on the

Home page, Menu will bring up different options.

The Text Key [Aa] is located on the bottom right corner of the

keypad and is used to select font size, screen rotation, and the

Text-to-Speech audio feature.

Kindle Policy and Information 3

The Symbols button [Sym] will bring up the numbers and symbols

menu. Select the number or symbol that you want with the 5-way

Charging the battery

There is a cord in your Kindle case. Plug one end of this cord into

an outlet and the other into the USB/power port located at the

bottom of the Kindle. The power adapter at one end of the cord

detaches, so you can also plug it into a USB port on your computer

to charge the Kindle. You can read the Kindle while charging.

Find a description of a book

Select a book and then choose Menu. Use the 5-way controller to

underline Book Description and press the 5-way controller to view.

to the right to bring up the Book Description choice.

How to search for titles on the Kindle

On the home page, type in a word or title (the search box appears

automatically), then press the 5-way controller. This will also

bring up results for a word that is used within a book.

How to find archived titles

Amazon keeps an archive of titles that are available on your

Kindle, but have not been used recently. These titles can be re-

downloaded quickly on the Kindle device. On the home page,

press Menu, and then choose View Archived Items.
