When you are connected to your PC, your Kindle will go into USB drive mode and its
battery will be recharged by the computer. Your Whispernet service is temporarily shut
off and you will not receive any of your subscriptions while in this mode. Also, your
Kindle is not usable as a reading device while you are in USB drive mode, but will
return right to where you were when you eject it from your computer.
To eject Kindle from your computer, follow these steps:
•
Windows Vista and Windows 7:
Click on the Start button, select "Computer"
from the options, right-click on the Kindle drive icon and select "Eject" from the
pop-up menu.
•
Windows XP:
Right-click on the "Safely remove hardware" icon in the lower left-
hand corner of the task bar and follow the on-screen instructions to remove Kindle.
•
Mac OS X:
Control-click on the Kindle device icon and choose "Eject."
Tip:
If you'd like to continue reading your Kindle while its battery is being charged by
the computer, you will need to release it from USB drive mode by ejecting the Kindle
from the computer.
