CHAPTER 3:
Reading on Kindle
Kindle retains the best qualities of printed books, but adds many features that are
available only through digital technologies such as word look up, changeable text size,
and clippings. 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,
newspapers, magazines, and blogs. If you want to begin purchasing and downloading
reading material, you can learn more in Chapter 5. You can also purchase audiobooks
from Audible.com and even have Amazon convert and deliver personal documents to
your Kindle. The different types of supported content are described below.

BOOKS

Thousands of books — 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 overnight so that the latest
edition can arrive on your device every morning, and every newspaper subscription
starts with a free trial. If you subscribe, your favorite periodicals are delivered
wirelessly wherever you go, whether you are at home or on the road. If you are
traveling outside of the US, you can still retrieve your newspapers from the Manage
Your Kindle page at Amazon.com. You can learn more about this feature in Chapter 9.

MAGAZINES

The Kindle Store offers an expanding selection of magazines to meet every interest.
As with newspapers, all periodical subscriptions are delivered wirelessly and start
with a free trial.
