This ends your brief introduction to just some of the capabilities on Kindle.
The chapters that follow give a more complete overview of these and other features.
Remember, you can always search on a particular feature or learn more about
how to do a particular task by opening this guide and typing on the keyboard to
activate Search.
The Table of Contents for the Kindle User’s Guide shows you all of the topics covered
in this guide. You can get to the table of contents by pressing the Menu button from
any page. Move the 5-way down until you underline “Table of Contents” and press the
5-way to go to it.
You can also navigate by clicking an underlined word or words like the “Table of
Contents” above. Underlined words indicate a link to somewhere else in the material
you are reading, like a footnote, a chapter, or a web site. In the example above, when
you navigate the 5-way controller over one of the underlined words, a hand icon
will appear. Pressing the 5-way will take you to the beginning of the table of contents.
Press the Back button to go back to where you were reading.
If you bought your Kindle with your Amazon account, it is already registered with your
account information and you are ready to go. When you go to the Home screen, check
the top left corner of the screen to see if your Amazon name (the same one you see
when you are shopping on Amazon.com) is shown. If it says “My Kindle” instead of
your Amazon account name, you need to register your Kindle. To register, first press
Home to display the Home screen and then press the Menu button. Select “Settings”
and then select “register” on the page that appears to enter your Amazon user name
and password. If your Amazon user name or password contains characters not present
on the Kindle keyboard, press the Symbol key on the bottom of the keyboard to
see a menu of the extended characters and use the 5-way to select the character you
require. Alternatively, you can register your Kindle by visiting the Manage Your Kindle
page on Amazon.com at: http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle
