Many e-book retailers allow you to set up your account so
that purchases you make are e-mailed automatically to your
Kindle Touch. In essence, this mimics the wireless delivery
service that Amazon offers. If you want to take advantage of
this, make sure to add the e-mail address of the e-bookseller
to your approved list of e-mail addresses.
If you use 3G to receive documents on your Kindle Touch
3G, Amazon charges $.15 per megabyte (within the U.S.) and
$.99 per megabyte for Kindle Touches outside the U.S. The
latter applies to a U.S.-registered Kindle Touch owner who's
traveling outside the country, as well as non-U.S.-based Kindle
owners. Transferring documents via Wi-Fi is free.
You can set the maximum document charge at your Amazon
account. The range is $0–$49.50. The default maximum charge
is $2.50. To change the amount, go to Personal Document
Settings in your Amazon account and choose the option to
edit the Whispernet Delivery charge (which can be found
above the table of approved e-mail addresses).

Setting up your Wi-Fi

By default, all versions of the Kindle Touch include Wi-Fi; 3G
is an additional option. If you have a Wi-Fi only Kindle Touch,
you need to set up Wi-Fi to receive e-books and content
wirelessly. If you have a Kindle Touch 3G, you don't have to
set up Wi-Fi to receive content — 3G works automatically
without any additional setup. Still, if you have a Wi-Fi hotspot
in your home or office, you probably want to go ahead and get
it working, just for convenience.
5. From the left-hand menu, choose Personal Document
Settings.
The list of approved e-mail addresses is in the center
of the screen.
6. Click on Add a new approved e-mail address. Enter
the e-mail address you want to approve in the dialog
box that appears. Click Add Address when the
information is complete. Repeat these steps to add
and approve additional e-mail addresses.
The approved addresses are listed in the table in the
center of the screen, with the option to delete them on
the right (if you later choose to do so).
