Shop in the Kindle Store anytime, anywhere

The Kindle Store offers a wide selection of Kindle books, Kindle Singles (novella-length
narratives), newspapers, magazines, blogs and Audible audiobooks, as well as popular
games and active content. To access the store, tap the top of the screen to display the
toolbars, then tap the Shopping Basket button. You can also select Shop in 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 uses your Amazon 1-Click
payment method securely. After you order, the Amazon Whispernet service delivers the
item directly to your Kindle Touch via your wireless connection. Books are downloaded to
your Kindle immediately, generally in less than 60 seconds. 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 not connected to a wireless network when a new issue
of a periodical becomes available, that issue will be delivered automatically the next time
you connect wirelessly. If your Kindle had wireless on prior to going to sleep, it will
continue to receive your regularly scheduled subscriptions whilst in sleep mode.
You can also synchronise your Kindle device so that purchases within Kindle apps or
other Kindle devices registered to your account are available to you. For example, you can
read a few pages using the Kindle application on your iPhone, iPad or Android device and
then pick up right where you left off when you return to your Kindle. This setting is
available via the Manage Your Kindle page, accessible from www.kindle.com/support. For
more information, see Reading Kindle content on other devices.

Audible audiobooks

The Kindle Store offers thousands of Audible audio editions, including New York Times
bestsellers. In addition to audiobooks, the Kindle Store offers audio editions of radio
shows, stand-up comedy performances, and speeches. Listen to Audible content through
the Kindle speakers or plug in your headphones for private listening.
Due to their large file size, audiobooks can only be transferred wirelessly to your Kindle
using Wi-Fi. If Wi-Fi is not available at your current location, but your Kindle model has
3G, you can still purchase Audible content; it will download automatically the next time
your Kindle has a Wi-Fi connection. Alternatively, you can download your Audible
purchases to your computer, then transfer them to your Kindle via USB.
Audible.com offers four versions of its audiobook format. Kindle Touch is compatible with
format 4 and Audible Enhanced Audio (AAX). Format 2, format 3, and audiobooks from
other sources are not supported.
