BLOGS
The Kindle Store offers thousands of Kindle blogs, including up-to-the-minute news
feeds and topical blogs. Blog categories include business, technology, sports, politics,
culture, entertainment, humor, and science. Kindle blogs are sent to you wirelessly
throughout the day, allowing you to keep current. Unlike traditional feeds, which often
only provide headlines, Kindle downloads the complete feed onto the device so you
can read them even when you are not wirelessly connected. All blog subscriptions are
delivered wirelessly and start with a free trial.
PERSONAL DOCUMENTS
In addition to purchased content, you can read your personal documents on Kindle.
Kindle can display a PDF document without losing the formatting of the original
file. You can either drag PDF files over USB to your device or e-mail them to your
dedicated Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the
Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com). When you choose to e-mail a PDF, we
will wirelessly provide it directly to your Kindle via Whispernet for a fee. You can
also press the Text key to change the orientation of your display to widescreen
viewing. For more information on the unique aspects of reading PDF files on Kindle,
see Section 3.6.
Additionally, if you have files formatted as text, Microsoft Word, HTML, PDF, or image
files like GIF or JPEG, you can e-mail the files as attachments to your Kindle e-mail
address. Amazon will convert the files if necessary and send them back to your
computer for free or via Whispernet to your Kindle for a fee, whichever you prefer.
For more information on transferring, converting, and e-mailing your personal
documents, see Chapter 8.
For details on fees, see the “Your individual charges” section of your Manage Your
Kindle page on Amazon.com.
