EDITION
Look It Up
Your Kindle includes The New Oxford American Dictionary. You can easily look up
a particular word without leaving the content. Simply use the 5-way controller to
navigate the cursor in front of the word you want defined. A definition of the word
appears at the bottom of the screen. To view the full definition, press the Return key
on the keyboard. To return to the text you were reading, press the Back button.
Take It All with You
Although Kindle is about the size of a paperback book, it can store over a thousand
digital books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines, which are referred to collectively
as “content” throughout this guide. A copy of all your books and recent issues of
newspapers and magazines purchased from the Kindle Store are kept on Amazon.com.
To open content on your Kindle, press the Home button. This displays a list of the
content on your Kindle. Move the 5-way controller up or down to underline the item
you want to open and then press the 5-way to open the item. To delete content on
your Kindle, move the 5-way controller up or down to underline the item you want to
delete. Move the 5-way to the left and then press the 5-way to complete the removal
of the item.
To move previously deleted content from Amazon.com back to your Kindle,
Whispernet must be on. From Home, select “Archived Items.” This shows all of the
content stored at Amazon.com. Underline the item you want to move back to your
Kindle and move the 5-way to the right and then press the 5-way to start the transfer.
In under a minute, the item re-downloads into your Kindle and appears in the list of
content in Home.
Shop Anytime, Anywhere
If you have Whispernet on and you select “Shop in Kindle Store” from any menu,
Kindle connects you to a broad offering of reading material including books,
newspapers, blogs, and magazines. You can browse by category or check out the
latest bestsellers, new and noteworthy items, or your personalized recommendations.
You can see details about an item, read customer reviews, and even download free
samples of books you are interested in. If you want to buy an item, Kindle uses secure
Amazon 1-Click and then Whispernet delivers the item to your Kindle generally in
under a minute.
