Getting More From Your Kindle

Carrying and reading personal documents

Your Kindle makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating the need to
print them. You and your approved contacts can email documents to your Kindle. To locate
your Send-to-Kindle email address, tap the Quick Actions icon on the toolbar, then tap All
Settings. On the Settings page, tap Device Options and select Personalize Your Kindle. Your
emailed personal documents will be backed up in your library and ready to download at any
time when Personal Document Archiving is enabled. To learn more about this feature and
enable Personal Document Archiving, go to the Manage Your Content and Devices page
(accessible from www.amazon.com/devicesupport).
You can send Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), PDF, HTML, TXT, RTF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC,
and MOBI files to your Kindle and read them in Kindle format. You can add notes, highlights,
and bookmarks, which are synchronized across devices along with the last page you read via
our Whispersync technology. Synchronization of notes, highlights, bookmarks, and last page
read is available only for personal documents archived in Kindle format. You can also read
documents in PDF and TXT format natively.

Reading Kindle content on other devices

You can synchronize your Kindle books with other supported devices you own and Kindle
reading applications. Amazon's Whispersync technology synchronizes your last page read,
notes, highlights, and bookmarks. For example, you can 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. For a complete list of supported devices and Device
Synchronization settings, go to www.amazon.com/devicesupport.

Sharing

The sharing feature enables you to share books, Kindle highlights, and comments with friends
using email and on social networks, including Goodreads on Kindle. To link your Kindle to
your social network accounts and enable sharing, tap the Quick Actions icon on the toolbar,
then tap All Settings. On the Settings page, tap Reading Options, then Social Networks.
To access the sharing feature from within a book, tap the Share icon on the Reading toolbar.
To share an excerpt from a book, simply press, hold, and drag your finger across the screen to
select the desired text, then tap Share. Select the sharing option you want to use from the list.
