Kindle Reading Device Brief Introduction 3

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, PDF, 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.com). We will convert the document into Kindle format and wirelessly deliver it directly to your Kindle for a small fee or back to your computer for free. Currently, the conversion of PDF documents is an experimental feature on Kindle, and some complex PDF files might not format correctly on your Kindle.

Learning More
This ends your brief introduction to just some of the capabilities on Kindle. The chapters that follow give a more complete overview of these and other features. Remember, you can always search on a particular feature or learn more about how to do a particular task by opening this guide and typing on the keyboard to activate Search.

The Table of Contents for the Kindle User’s Guide shows you all of the topics covered in this guide. You can get to the table of contents by pressing the Menu button from any page. Move the 5-way down until you underline “Table of Contents” and press the 5-way to go to it.

You can also navigate by clicking an underlined word or words like the “Table of Contents” above. Underlined words indicate a link to somewhere else in the material you are reading, like a footnote, a chapter, or a web site. In the example above, when you navigate the 5-way controller over one of the underlined words, a hand icon will appear. Pressing the 5-way will take you to the beginning of the table of contents. Press the Back button to go back to where you were reading.

If you bought your Kindle with your Amazon account, it is already registered with your account information and you are ready to go. When you go to the Home screen, check the top left corner of the screen to see if your Amazon name (the same one you see when you are shopping on Amazon.com) is shown. If it says “My Kindle” instead of your Amazon account name, you need to register your Kindle. To register, first press Home to display the Home screen and then press the Menu button. Select “Settings” and then select “register” on the page that appears to enter your Amazon user name and password. If your Amazon user name or password contains characters not present on the Kindle keyboard, press the Symbol key on the bottom of the keyboard to see a menu of the extended characters and use the 5-way to select the character you require.
