Take It All with You
Although Kindle is about the size of a paperback book, it can store over two hundred digital books, newspapers, blogs, and
magazines. You can store hundreds more by inserting an SD memory card into the available slot under the battery cover.
Your digital books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines are often referred to collectively as "content" throughout this guide.
Also, a copy of all the content you purchase from Amazon is kept in Your Media Library on Amazon.com in case you want
to download it again. Your Media Library is an Amazon service that securely stores all of your Kindle books and recent
issues of newspapers and magazines on Amazon.com and allows you to retrieve them if you have previously deleted them
from your Kindle.
To move or delete content on your Kindle, use the "Content Manager" which is selectable on the Home menu. This will
show you all of the reading material currently on your Kindle, both in the internal memory and the SD memory card (if you
have one inserted), as well as Kindle content in Your Media Library. You can move, delete, or download files easily with a
press of the select wheel.
