Reading on Kindle

Kindle retains the best qualities of printed books, but adds many features that are only
available through digital technologies such as word look up, changeable text size, and
clippings. This chapter explains more about Kindle's reading features.

3.1 Types of Content

There are many types of reading material available for your Kindle such as books,
newspapers, magazines, and blogs. If you want to begin purchasing and downloading
reading material, you can learn more in Chapter 5. You can also purchase audiobooks
from Audible.com and even have Amazon convert and deliver personal documents to
your Kindle. The different types of supported content are described below.

Books

Thousands of your favorite books are available at the Kindle Store. Once you buy a book,
it usually arrives wirelessly in under a minute. Because you can't always judge a book by
its cover, you can download and read a sample of most Kindle books for free. If you like
it, simply buy it from within the sample and continue reading. You can learn more about
this feature in Chapter 5.

Newspapers

The Kindle Store offers a selection of U.S. and international newspapers. Subscriptions
are delivered wirelessly to your Kindle overnight so that the latest edition is waiting for
you every morning, and every newspaper subscription starts with a free trial. Should you
choose to subscribe, your favorite periodicals are delivered wirelessly wherever you go,
whether you are at home or on the road.
Magazines
The Kindle Store offers an expanding selection of magazines to meet every interest. As
with newspapers, all periodical subscriptions are delivered wirelessly and start with a free
trial.
Blogs
The Kindle Store offers hundreds of Kindle blogs, including up-to-the-minute news feeds
and topical blogs from the worlds of business, technology, sports, and politics. Kindle
blogs are sent to you wirelessly throughout the day, allowing you to keep current. Unlike
traditional feeds which often only provide headlines, Kindle feeds download the complete
feed onto the device so you can read them even when you are not wirelessly connected.
