BLOGS

The Kindle Store offers over one thousand Kindle blogs, including up-to-the-minute
news feeds and topical blogs. Blog categories include business, technology, sports,
politics, culture, entertainment, humor, and science. Kindle blogs are sent to you
wirelessly throughout the day, allowing you to keep current. Unlike traditional feeds,
which often only provide headlines, Kindle downloads the complete feed onto the
device so you can read them even when you are not wirelessly connected.

PERSONAL DOCUMENTS

In addition to purchased content, you can read your personal documents on Kindle.
Kindle DX can display a PDF document without losing the formatting of the original
file. You can either drag PDF files over USB to your device or e-mail them to your
dedicated Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the
Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com). When you choose to e-mail a PDF, we
will wirelessly deliver it directly to your Kindle for a fee. You can rotate your device
sideways for widescreen viewing. For more information on the unique aspects of
reading PDF files on Kindle, see Section 3.6.
Additionally, if you have files formatted as text, Microsoft Word, HTML or image files
like GIF or JPEG, you can e-mail the files as attachments to your Kindle e-mail address.
Amazon will convert the files if necessary and send them back to your computer for
free or wirelessly to your Kindle for a fee, whichever you prefer. For more information
on transferring, converting, and e-mailing your personal documents, see Chapter 8.
For details on fees, see the "Your orders and individual charges" section of your
Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com.

AUDIOBOOKS

You can download and enjoy thousands of audiobooks from Audible.com. Due to their
large file size, audiobooks must be downloaded to your PC or Mac over your existing
Internet connection and then transferred to Kindle over USB. Listen to audiobooks
through Kindle's speakers or plug in your headphones for private listening. For more
information on transferring and listening to audiobooks, see Chapter 8.
