Acquiring & Managing Kindle Content

Shop the Kindle Store anytime, anywhere

The Kindle Store offers a wide selection of Kindle books, Kindle Singles, newspapers,
magazines, and blogs. To access the store, tap the top of the screen to display the toolbars,
then tap the Store icon. You can also select Kindle Store from some menus.
To navigate within the Kindle Store, simply tap on any area of interest, then swipe left and
right or up and down to move around pages and lists. You can search for a title, browse by
category, check out the latest best sellers, or view recommendations personalized just for
you. The Kindle Store lets you see details about titles, read customer reviews, and even
download book samples.
When you're ready to make a purchase, the Kindle Store securely uses your Amazon 1-Click
payment method. After you order, the Amazon Whispernet service delivers the item directly
to your Kindle via your wireless connection. Books are downloaded to your Kindle
immediately, generally in less than 60 seconds. The download progress will display below the
book's cover or title on the Home screen. A New banner on the book indicates when the book
is ready to be opened. Newspapers, magazines, and blogs are sent to your device as soon as
they're published—often even before they're available in print. If your Kindle is in Airplane
Mode when a new issue of a periodical becomes available, the issue will be delivered
automatically the next time you have a wireless connection.
Whispersync synchronizes your Kindle device so that purchases and downloaded book
samples within Kindle apps or other Kindle devices registered to your account are always
available to you. This enables you to read a few pages using the Kindle application on your
iPhone, iPad, or Android device and then pick up right where you left off when you return to
your Kindle device. For more information, see
Kindle Unlimited (known as Kindle Abonnement in France) is an optional monthly
subscription that enables you to read as much as you want on any device, and choose from
over 1,000,000 titles and thousands of audiobooks. You can freely explore new authors,
books, and genres from mysteries and romance to sci-fi and more. To learn more, visit the
Kindle Store.

Recommended content

Your Kindle Home screen displays recommended content from the Kindle Store, such as
Editors' Picks. Tapping an item will direct you to the Kindle Store, where you can view
additional details, read customer reviews, and complete purchases. To hide recommended
content, tap the Quick Actions icon on the toolbar, then tap All Settings. On the Settings page,
tap Device Options, Personalize your Kindle, Advanced Options, then Home Screen View.
