6.1 Using Web Browser

There are four ways to open the Web Browser. The two main ways are to select "launch browser" from the Experimental screen
or to follow a link from within your reading material. Many of the blogs that you subscribe to from the Kindle Store have links
to websites. Selecting these links will open Web Browser and take you to the URL (web address) associated with the link. If
you select "launch browser" from the Experimental page, you will open to the last website you were viewing in your browser.
One other way of accessing Web Browser is to type in a word anytime from Home or any book, blog, newspaper, personal
document, or magazine you happen to be reading. When you begin typing, a search box will pop up at the bottom of the screen,
and you can use the 5-way controller to navigate to the right and select "google" or "wikipedia" from the menu to search those
sites directly for the word you typed.
You can also enter a URL in the Search box from the Home page. Type the URL and use the 5-way to select "go to" and then
press the 5-way.

Entering a URL

To enter the URL for a website, navigate to the top of the Browser screen to select the URL text field or press Menu and select
"Enter URL". Begin typing a URL. When you are done typing, use the 5-way controller to select "go to" and press the 5-way
controller to go to that website.
The URL text field retains the last URL you entered in case you want to quickly edit the same address and submit it again. If
you want to enter a secure site with an "https" address, use the Delete key to delete the automatically entered "http://" and
type the address you want.
To the right of the URL text field there is a button to stop loading or reload the current page. From there, use the 5-way to
navigate to the right to select "google", so you can quickly search with Google for the text entered in the URL text field. Or,
navigate to the right again to search Wikipedia. To the left of the URL text field are shortcuts to navigate back and forward one
page.

Using Bookmarks and Adding Your Own

Bookmarks let you easily access a web page without needing to type the address every time. When you open Web Browser
from the Experimental page for the first time, you will see a list of default bookmarks with links to news, sports, and other
information. While browsing, you can also access the same list of bookmarks by selecting "Bookmarks" from the browser menu
(just press the Menu button).
To add a website to the Bookmarks page, simply navigate to the site that you want to bookmark and press the Menu button.
Move the cursor to "Bookmark This Page" and press the 5-way controller. Any new bookmarks will be added to the existing list
on your Kindle.
You can remove a bookmark by going to your Bookmarks list and using the 5-way controller to navigate to the item that you
