To view available Wi-Fi networks, from the Home screen tap the Menu button and then
Settings. Select Wi-Fi Networks and the name of the network you want to use. If you see
a lock symbol next to the network name, it requires a password. Tap the Rescan button to
recheck for available Wi-Fi networks. Your Kindle will recognize Wi-Fi networks with a WPS
compatible router. To connect via WPS, from your Kindle select the wireless network you
want to use. Next, press the WPS button on your router, and then select the WPS button
on your Kindle during the Wi-Fi setup process. Once you have successfully connected to
a network, the Wi-Fi status indicator will display the network's signal strength.
Kindle Paperwhite 3G models use the same technology as cell phones, so they are
dependent on cellular coverage areas. By default, a 3G Kindle device will automatically
connect to a 3G network. If there isn't sufficient 3G signal strength, it will connect to a
slower GPRS or EDGE network. Your Kindle automatically turns off 3G when you connect
using Wi-Fi with better signal strength. If you disconnect from a Wi-Fi network or move out
of Wi-Fi range, your Kindle will automatically switch back to 3G.
To turn wireless off, from the Home screen tap the Menu button, select Settings, and enable
Airplane Mode. Any periodical downloads or other pending updates that require a wireless
connection will occur the next time you turn it back on. Turning on Airplane Mode disables
both 3G and Wi-Fi connections.

Special Offers and Sponsored Screensavers

For Kindle with Special Offers devices, you will receive Special Offers and Sponsored
Screensavers that display only on the Home screen or screensaver—not within a book.
Note that Special Offers and Sponsored Screensavers are not available in all countries.

Screensaver

When your device is sleeping, a special offer will be displayed on your screensaver. To see
more details on the offer, wake up your Kindle, and then tap the "Tap for Details" area.
To unlock your Kindle without viewing offer details, swipe your finger to unlock. Special
offers and Sponsored Screensavers are updated regularly when your Kindle is connected
to a network.

Home screen

Special Offer banners are displayed at the bottom of the Home screen. To view additional
details, tap the banner. All available special offers are saved on your Kindle.
To view all available special offers:
1. Tap the Home button, then tap the Menu button.
2. Tap View Special Offers.
3. Tap on any available offer to view details about it.
Note that if you buy a special offer when your Kindle is offline, your order will not be
processed immediately. The purchase will be queued and the transaction will be
automatically completed the next time you connect to a network.

Recommended content

When in Cover View, your Kindle Home screen displays recommended content from the
Kindle Store, such as Editors' Picks. Tapping the item will direct you to the Kindle Store,
where you can view additional details, read customer reviews, and complete purchases.
