Browsing the Store

Another way to find reading material in the Kindle Store is to browse through the

different content categories such as books or newspapers. Once inside a category, you

can further refine your browse by topic. For example, within "Books," you can refine

listings to "Fiction," "Nonfiction," "Advice & How-to," etc. Each browse page shows the

path that you have taken at the top so you can easily retrace your steps.

Browse Listings Sample
