Using your Kindle with your computer

Your Kindle uses Amazon Whispernet to deliver books, periodicals, personal documents,
Kindle Singles, and blogs to your Kindle without the need for a computer.
When you first connect the Kindle to a computer's USB port, it will appear as an external
storage drive or volume on the computer's desktop. You'll see a directory or folder called
"documents." You can add Kindle-compatible files to this directory, and you can copy, move,
or delete the files that are already there. See the Kindle Support website
(www.amazon.com/devicesupport) for more information on supported file types.
Your Kindle is not usable as a reading device while in USB drive mode. To read a book while
charging the battery, you must eject the Kindle from your computer's desktop.

Using the Experimental Web Browser

Your Kindle includes an experimental web browser that enables you to surf the web and view
most Amazon web pages. The Experimental Web Browser supports JavaScript, SSL, and
cookies, but does not support media plug-ins. You must have a Wi-Fi connection to access
most websites.
To launch the Experimental Web Browser, tap the Menu icon, then select Experimental
Browser. The first time you access this page, you will find a list of default bookmarks for
commonly used sites. You can access these bookmarks later, by selecting Bookmarks from the

web browser menu.

To enter a URL, tap the search field at the top of the screen. Use the onscreen keyboard to
enter the web address. A ".com" key is added to the keyboard when you are entering URLs.
The address field will retain the last URL you entered.
Tips:

To zoom in on a web page or image, place two fingers close together on the center of the
screen and move them apart. To zoom out, place two fingers slightly apart on the screen and
pinch them together.
