CHAPTER 5
The Kindle Store
The Kindle Store is the place to purchase your Kindle books, newspapers, magazines,
and blogs. Find an item in the store, select "Buy," and you will typically receive your
item wirelessly in under a minute. All of your Kindle purchases use Amazon 1-Click for
easy purchasing and Amazon automatically backs up all of your purchases and the
most recent issues of your periodicals in case you lose your Kindle or want to
download a title again. To help other Amazon users decide what to buy, you can also
add your own ratings and reviews.
5.1 Getting Started at the Store
This section tells you how to connect to the Kindle Store on your Kindle, and provides
some ideas about the best ways to look for content once you are connected.
Connecting to the Kindle Store
You connect to the Kindle Store using your device's built-in Whispernet service. To go
to the Kindle Store, follow these steps:
1.
If Whispernet is not already on, press the Menu button, use the 5-way controller to
underline "Turn Wireless On", and then press the 5-way controller to turn on
Whispernet.
2.
Press the Menu button and use the 5-way controller to underline "Shop in Kindle
Store."
3.
Press the 5-way controller to select "Shop in Kindle Store."
You will see this icon
in the upper left corner of the page, if you are not already
connected. The Kindle Storefront will appear as shown later in this chapter and serves
as a launch point for all of the Kindle Store services.
