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 DX 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 rotate
your device sideways for 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 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.
AUDIOBOOKS
You can download and enjoy thousands of audiobooks from Audible.com. Due to their
large file size, audiobooks must be downloaded to your PC or Mac over your existing
Internet connection and then transferred to Kindle over USB. Listen to audiobooks
through Kindle’s speakers or plug in your headphones for private listening. For more
information on transferring and listening to audiobooks, see Chapter 8.
