Acquiring & Managing Kindle Content
Shop in the Kindle Store anytime, anywhere
The Kindle Store offers a wide selection of Kindle books, Kindle Singles, newspapers, magazines and
blogs. To access the store, tap the top of the screen to display the toolbars, and then tap the Store
icon. You can also select Kindle Store from some menus.
To navigate within the Kindle Store, simply tap on any area of interest, then swipe left and right or
up and down to move around pages and lists. You can search for a title, browse by category, check
out the latest bestsellers, or view recommendations personalised just for you. The Kindle Store lets
you see details about titles, read customer reviews and even download book samples.
When you're ready to make a purchase, the Kindle Store securely uses your Amazon 1-Click payment
method. After you order, the Amazon Whispernet service delivers the item directly to your Kindle via
your wireless connection. Books are downloaded to your Kindle immediately, generally in less than
60 seconds. The download progress will display below the book's cover or title on the Home screen.
A New banner on the book indicates when the book is ready to be opened. Newspapers, magazines
and blogs are sent to your device as soon as they're published — often even before they're available
in print. If your Kindle is in Aeroplane Mode when a new issue of a periodical becomes available, the
issue will be delivered automatically the next time you have a wireless connection.
Whispersync synchronises your Kindle device so that purchases and book samples downloaded in
Kindle apps or on other Kindle devices registered with your account are always available to you.
This enables you to read a few pages using the Kindle application on your iPhone, iPad or Android
device and then pick up exactly where you left off when you return to your Kindle device. For more
information, see
Reading Kindle content on other
devices.
Kindle Unlimited (known as Abonnement Kindle in France) is an optional monthly subscription that
lets you read as much as you want on any device, and choose from over 1,000,000 titles and
thousands of audiobooks. You can freely explore new authors, books and genres from mysteries and
romance to sci-fi and more. To learn more, visit the Kindle Store.
