Welcome · 8KINDLE USER’S GUIDE 4th EDITION

Welcome to

Thank you for purchasing Amazon Kindle. You are reading the Welcome section of the

Kindle User’s Guide. This section provides an overview of Kindle and highlights a few

basic features so you can start reading as quickly as possible.

You can leave this guide at any time by pressing the Home button on your Kindle.

To turn to the next page, press one of the Next Page buttons.

If your Kindle was a gift, you will need to register your device. Please look at the

Getting Started instructions that came with your Kindle for information on registering

your device.

Welcome · 9KINDLE USER’S GUIDE 4th EDITION

Congratulations!

You are reading on your new Kindle.

If you haven’t done so already, please follow the Getting Started instructions that

came with your Kindle and plug in your Kindle to charge the battery. The charge

indicator light on the bottom edge of your Kindle turns yellow and a lightning bolt

appears on the battery icon at the top of the display. Charging the battery fully should

take less than three hours and you can continue reading while it charges.

Tip: The charge indicator light will turn green when the battery is fully charged.

If you prefer to read the Kindle User’s Guide side-by-side with the device, you can

download and print a PDF copy of the Kindle User’s Guide at:

http://www.amazon.com/kindledocuments

Getting Around

You navigate Kindle using the 5-way controller; the Home, Menu, Back, and

Next/Previous Page buttons; and the keyboard:

Welcome · 10KINDLE USER’S GUIDE 4th EDITION

To select a particular item such as a menu option or a speciﬁc word in your reading

material, move the 5-way controller up, down, left, or right to highlight your choice

and then press to select.

You can press the Next or Previous Page buttons to move forward or backward in your

reading material and press the Back button to retrace your steps on your Kindle. Use

the keyboard to type words or phrases when searching your reading material or items

in the Kindle Store. You can also use the keyboard to create notes while reading. All of

these are covered in more detail later in this guide.

Easy-to-Read Display

Kindle uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. It works

using ink just like books and newspapers, but it displays the ink particles electronically.

The page ﬂash you see when you turn the page is part of the ink placement process.

The electronic paper display is reﬂective, which means unlike most displays, you can

read it clearly even in bright sunlight. Also, electronic paper does not need power to

hold the ink in place, which extends your Kindle’s battery life.

Wireless Access with Whispernet

Using the wireless Amazon Whispernet service, Amazon delivers content to your

Kindle whenever and wherever you want it, within the wireless coverage area, using

the same technology as a cell phone. By default, your Kindle ships with Whispernet

already turned on. To turn Whispernet on or off, press the Menu button, move the

5-way controller up to underline “Turn Wireless On/Off,” and then press the 5-way.

Your Choice of Text Size

To optimize your reading experience, Kindle provides a quick way to adjust the size of

the reading text among six sizes.
