Convert Your Own Documents
In addition to all of the great reading material you can get from the Kindle Store, Amazon can
also convert your own documents so you can read them on Kindle. You can e-mail Microsoft
Word, TXT, HTML, RTF, or image files like JPEGs and GIFs to your dedicated Kindle e-mail
address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon).
We will convert the document into Kindle format and wirelessly send it directly to your Kindle
via Whispernet (fees may apply) or back to your computer for free. If you e-mail a PDF to your
Kindle, it will be sent to your device with no conversion.
Loan Books
You can share your favorite book with any friend who has a Kindle or uses one of our Kindle
applications on supported devices. To lend books, go to the Manage Your Kindle page on
Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle (U.S. and other countries)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/manageyourkindle (UK customers)
Social Networks
Share your notes and highlights with friends using social networks like Twitter and Facebook.
Whenever you create a note or a highlight, press the Alt+ENTER + keys to share it
to your social network.
To set up your social network accounts on your Kindle, go to the Settings screen and select
“manage” next to Social Networks. The browser will launch and allow you to link your Kindle
to your social network accounts.
Popular Highlights
See what the Kindle community thinks are the most interesting passages in the books you are
reading. If several other readers have highlighted a particular passage, then that passage will
be highlighted in your book along with the total number of people who have highlighted it.
You can also view a list of all the Popular Highlights in the book you’re reading by pressing the
Menu button and selecting “View Popular Highlights.” For more information, see “Displaying
Popular Highlights in Your Books” in Chapter 3.
Special Offers and Sponsored Screensavers
For Kindle with Special Offers, you will receive special offers and sponsored screensavers
that only display on the Kindle Home screen and screensaver—not within books. As always
when reading, you can lose yourself in the author’s words.
