Chapter 1
Getting Started
Welcome to your new Kindle Touch. This short guide will familiarize you with all of the
features and functionality of the Kindle Touch.
Registering your Kindle
If you bought your Kindle online using your Amazon account, the device is registered and
ready to use. To verify, press the Home button and check whether your Amazon user name
is in the upper left corner of the Home screen. If it says My Kindle or shows the name of a
previous owner instead of your own Amazon account name, you'll need to register it. See
Setting up your Kindle in this chapter for instructions on setting up and registering your Kindle.
Using the controls
You need to learn only a few simple functions to navigate around your Kindle Touch to
download and read books, magazines, newspapers, and audiobooks. Most of your interaction
will be via the touchscreen interface.
Below the screen is the Home button. At the bottom edge of the Kindle are a headphone
jack, charge indicator light, power button, and micro-USB/power port. On the lower back are
two speakers.
Home button: This raised button takes you to the Home screen, where you'll find a list of the
books and other content stored on your Kindle.
