Easy-To-Read Display; Wireless Access With Amazon Whispernet; Your Choice Of Text Size, Typeface, And Line Spacing - Amazon Kindle User Manual

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) 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 to see a menu of characters and
numbers and use the 5-way to select the character you require. Alternatively, you can register your Kindle by visiting the
Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon at:
http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle (U.S. and other countries)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/manageyourkindle (U.K. customers)
If you don't yet have an Amazon account, you will need to create one before you register your Kindle. You can easily create an
Amazon account on your computer. Go to www.amazon.com/sign-in if you are in the US or countries other than the UK, or to
www.amazon.co.uk/sign-in if you are in the UK.
You can also create an Amazon account directly on your Kindle. To do this, follow the instructions in "Registering Your
Kindle" in Chapter 7.

Easy-to-Read Display

Kindle uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. It works using ink just like books and newspapers, but
it displays the ink particles electronically. The page flash you see when you turn the page is part of the ink placement process.
The electronic paper display is reflective, which means unlike most displays, you can read it clearly even in bright sunlight.
Also, electronic paper does not need power to hold the ink in place, which extends your Kindle's battery life.

Wireless Access with Amazon Whispernet

The Amazon Whispernet service wirelessly delivers content to your Kindle whenever and wherever you want it. All latest
generation Kindle devices have Wi-Fi connectivity built in, and some models also include free 3G connectivity.
Your Kindle can connect to Wi-Fi networks at home, at your favorite cafe, or at Wi-Fi hotspots around the world. Using Wi-Fi
allows fast downloads, free delivery of personal documents, and allows your Audible audiobook purchases to be delivered
wirelessly to your Kindle, with no computer required.
For Kindle models that include free 3G connectivity, 3G uses the same technology as a cell phone to connect from anywhere
that's within the coverage area. When there isn't sufficient 3G signal strength, Kindle 3G+Wi-Fi models automatically connect
using the slower EDGE and GPRS networks, but will automatically connect to the faster 3G network whenever there is
sufficient signal strength.

Your Choice of Text Size, Typeface, and Line Spacing

To optimize your reading experience, Kindle provides a quick way to adjust the text size, typeface, and line spacing in books
and periodicals.
