such as word look up, changeable text size, clippings, annotations, and sharing. This chapter explains more about Kindle's
reading features.
3.1 Types of Content
There are many types of reading material available for your Kindle such as books, audiobooks, newspapers, magazines, and
blogs. If you want to begin purchasing and downloading reading material, you can learn more in
Chapter 5
. You can even have
Amazon convert and deliver personal documents to your Kindle. The different types of supported content are described below.
Books
Thousands of books in different categories - both popular and hard-to-find - are available in the Kindle Store. Once you buy a
book, it usually arrives wirelessly in under a minute. Because you can't always judge a book by its cover, you can download and
read a sample of most Kindle books for free. If you like it, simply buy it from within the sample and continue reading. You can
learn more about this feature in
Chapter 5
.
Newspapers
The Kindle Store offers a selection of U.S. and international newspapers. Subscriptions are delivered wirelessly to your Kindle
so that the latest edition arrives as soon as it is available, and every newspaper subscription starts with a free trial.
Magazines
The Kindle Store offers an expanding selection of magazines to meet every interest. As with newspapers, all magazine
subscriptions are delivered wirelessly and start with a free trial.
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.
Personal Documents
In addition to purchased content, you can read your personal documents on Kindle.
Kindle 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). You can rotate your device sideways for widescreen viewing. For more information on the
unique aspects of reading PDF files on Kindle, see
“Reading PDF Files”
.
If you have PDF files, or 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 (fees may apply). 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 the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.
Audible Content
The Kindle Store offers thousands of Audible audio editions, including New York Times Best Sellers. In addition to
audiobooks, the Kindle Store offers audio editions for radio shows, stand-up comedy, and speeches from icons who shape our
culture, politics, and business world. Listen to Audible content through Kindle's speakers or plug in your headphones for private
listening. Audiobooks can be delivered wirelessly via Wi-Fi to your Kindle with no computer required. See
Chapter 5
for more
information about purchasing audiobooks.
