Welcome · 8KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONThank you for purchasing Amazon Kindle DX. You are reading the Welcome section of the Kindle DX User’s Guide. This section provides an overview of Kindle DX and highlights a few basic features so you can start reading as quickly as possible. You can leave this guide at any time by pressing the Home button on your Kindle. To turn to the next page, press on the Next Page button. If your Kindle was a gift, you will need to register your device. Please look at the Getting Started instructions that came with your Kindle for information on registering your device.Welcome to

Welcome · 9KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONCongratulations!You are reading on your new Kindle DX.If you haven’t done so already, please follow the Getting Started instructions that came with your Kindle and plug in your Kindle to charge the battery. The charge indicator light on the bottom edge of your Kindle turns yellow and a lightning bolt appears on the battery icon at the top of the display. Charging the battery fully should take less than three hours and you can continue reading while it charges. Tip: The charge indicator light will turn green when the battery is fully charged.If you prefer to read the Kindle DX User’s Guide side-by-side with the device, you can download and print a PDF copy from Amazon.com at:http://www.amazon.com/kindlesupportGetting AroundYou navigate Kindle using the 5-way controller; the Home, Menu, Back, and Next/Previous Page buttons; and the keyboard:

Welcome · 10KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONTo select a particular item such as a menu option or a speciﬁc word in your reading material, move the 5-way controller up, down, left, or right to highlight your choice and then press to select.You can press the Next or Previous Page button to move forward or backward in your reading material and press the Back button to retrace your steps on your Kindle. Use the keyboard to type words or phrases when searching your reading material or items in the Kindle Store. You can also use the keyboard to create notes while reading. All of these are covered in more detail later in this guide.Easy-to-Read DisplayKindle uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. It works using ink just like books and newspapers, but it displays the ink particles electronically. The page ﬂash you see when you turn the page is part of the ink placement process.The electronic paper display is reﬂective, which means unlike most displays, you can read it clearly even in bright sunlight. Also, electronic paper does not need power to hold the ink in place, which extends your Kindle’s battery life.Wireless Access with WhispernetUsing the wireless Amazon Whispernet service, Amazon delivers content to your Kindle whenever and wherever you want it, within the wireless coverage area, using the same technology as a cell phone. By default, your Kindle ships with Whispernet already turned on. To turn Whispernet on or off, press the Menu button, move the 5-way controller up to underline “Turn Wireless On/Off,” and then press the 5-way.Your Choice of Text SizeTo optimize your reading experience, Kindle provides a quick way to adjust the size of the reading text among six sizes.

Welcome · 11KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONIn a book or periodical you are currently reading, you can change the text size by pressing the Text key , and moving the 5-way controller to choose the size you prefer; then press the 5-way to select. The text changes to the new size. Repeat the same steps to change the text size back or to change it to a size comfortable for you to read.

Welcome · 12KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONYour Choice of Number of Words per LineYou can also change the number of words per line in the book or periodical you are currently reading. Press the Text key , move the 5-way controller to choose the number of words per line you prefer and press the 5-way to select. This changes the width of the margins. You may ﬁnd you read faster with fewer words per line. Experiment to see what works best for you.Adjust Screen RotationThe Kindle DX screen image can also auto-rotate to match the way you are holding your Kindle so you can see the entire width of a web page or magnify the page of a PDF ﬁle. The screen changes automatically when you rotate your Kindle from portrait to landscape or vice versa. Or, you can lock your screen to a particular orientation to ﬁt your reading position. Press the Text key , then move the 5-way controller to select the screen rotation you want. Press the 5-way to select.Read PDF ﬁlesKindle DX can display a PDF document without losing the formatting of the original ﬁle. Just drag PDF ﬁles over USB or e-mail them to your dedicated Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com). We will wirelessly deliver the original ﬁle directly to your Kindle for a fee. For details, see the “Your orders and individual charges” section of your Manage Your Kindle page for your Kindle DX on Amazon.com.

Welcome · 13KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONLet Kindle Read to YouYou can also choose to turn on the experimental application, Text-to-Speech, which will read aloud your books (where allowed by the rights holder), newspapers, blogs, and personal documents. You can either listen through your Kindle’s external speakers or plug in earphones into the headphone jack. While Text-to-Speech is playing, the screen will turn the pages automatically so you can follow along while the audio is playing. You have the choice of hearing your content spoken with a male or female voice and can also further optimize the listening experience by slowing down or increasing the rate of speech.Look It UpYour Kindle includes The New Oxford American Dictionary. You can easily look up a particular word without leaving the content. Simply use the 5-way controller to navigate the cursor in front of the word you want deﬁned. A deﬁnition of the word appears at the bottom of the screen. To view the full deﬁnition, press the Return key on the keyboard. To return to the text you were reading, press the Back button.Take It All with YouKindle DX can store over 3500 digital books, personal documents, newspapers, blogs, and magazines, which are referred to collectively as “content” throughout this guide. A copy of all your books and recent issues of newspapers and magazines purchased from the Kindle Store are kept on Amazon.com.To open content on your Kindle, press the Home button. This displays a list of the content on your Kindle. Move the 5-way controller up or down to underline the item you want to open and then press the 5-way to open the item. To delete content on your Kindle, move the 5-way controller up or down to underline the item you want to delete. Move the 5-way to the left and then press the 5-way to complete the removal of the item.To move previously deleted content from Amazon.com back to your Kindle, Whispernet must be on. From Home, select “Archived Items.” This shows all of the content stored at Amazon.com. Underline the item you want to move back to your Kindle and move the 5-way to the right and then press the 5-way to start the transfer. In under a minute, the item re-downloads into your Kindle and appears in the list of content in Home.

Welcome · 14KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONShop Anytime, AnywhereIf you have Whispernet on and you select “Shop in Kindle Store” from any menu, Kindle connects you to a broad offering of reading material including books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines. You can browse by category or check out the latest bestsellers, new and noteworthy items, or your personalized recommendations. You can see details about an item, read customer reviews, and even download free samples of books you are interested in. If you want to buy an item, Kindle uses secure Amazon 1-Click and then Whispernet delivers the item to your Kindle generally in under a minute with no wireless delivery charges to you. Terms and conditions applicable to use of the wireless connectivity of the Kindle DX can be found in the Kindle DX Quick Start Guide.Automatic DeliverySince Kindle connects to the Whispernet network, we deliver your favorite periodicals over the air to your device as soon as they are published, often before they are even available in print. For example, if you subscribe to the Kindle edition of The New York Times, the latest edition is wirelessly delivered overnight so you can read it each morning. Your favorite periodicals follow you wherever you go in Whispernet’s broad coverage area, whether you are at home or on the road. Also, you pay only for your subscriptions; Amazon.com covers the wireless delivery cost.Peruse Your PeriodicalsJust as you would thumb through a physical newspaper or magazine to locate an article of interest, your Kindle supplies you with navigation shortcuts so that you can quickly zero in on an article of interest. By moving the 5-way controller right or left you can advance to the next or previous article and pushing the 5-way brings up the periodical’s section list.Search Your WorldWhile you are in Home, the Kindle Store, or reading content, you can use your Kindle’s search feature. From the keyboard, begin typing what you’d like to search for and then using the 5-way controller, select the range of your search. If you begin your search while in Home or with open content, you have the option to search for that item in your books, newspapers, blogs, personal documents, and annotations. You also have the option to focus your search to the built-in dictionary, the Kindle Store, Wikipedia, and the Web.

Welcome · 15KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONClip Your Favorite PassagesHave you ever been reading a book or a newspaper and wanted to clip and save a few words to refer to later? With Kindle, simply select “Add a Note or Highlight” from the menu and use the 5-way to highlight the content you want to clip and then press the 5-way to save your selection. The clipping is added to a ﬁle in Home called “My Clippings.” You can review your clippings later, search for words or terms you clipped, and transfer the “My Clippings” ﬁle to your computer. This is a great way to capture your favorite quotations to share with others.Bookmark Your ReadingKindle automatically saves your place in whatever book you are reading, but you can also add a bookmark to any page by pressing the Menu button and selecting “Add a Bookmark.” You can see that the upper right corner of the page is dog-eared. Kindle stores all your bookmarks for the current content in your annotations. You can view them at any time by pressing the Menu button and selecting “My Notes & Marks.” Add Your Own NotesDo you like to take notes and make comments while reading? You can add notes to Kindle content. Amazon automatically stores all of your book annotations in the “My Clippings” ﬁle and backs them up on Amazon servers so they will not be lost.As an example, this sentence is highlighted and has a note attached as indicated by the superscripted number one to the right of this text. Using the 5-way controller, move the cursor over the notation number to see the note. To add your own note, move the cursor to the word where you want to add your thoughts, and begin typing your note. Then use the 5-way again to highlight the “save note” button onscreen and press the 5-way to select. You can later view, edit, or remove a note, or see all of your annotations by pressing the Menu button and selecting “My Notes & Marks.”Stay in SyncWhispersync technology saves and synchronizes your reading location across your Kindle(s) and your iPhone. Now you can read a few pages on your iPhone and pick up right where you left off when you return to your Kindle.

Here are the possible indicators and their meanings.The Whispernet service is active and your Kindle has a strong signal. The more bars that are ﬁlled in with black, the stronger the wireless signal. Note that a weak signal can increase power consumption.None of the bars are ﬁlled in. This means the wireless signal strength is too low to connect. You will not be able to connect to the Kindle Store, Basic Web, register your device, retrieve content from Archived Items, sync your devices, or receive your subscriptions.The bars are outlined in grey.

The different types of supported content are described below.BOOKSThousands of books — both popular and hard-to-ﬁnd — are available in the Kindle Store.

Blog categories include business, technology, sports, politics, culture, entertainment, humor, and science. Kindle blogs are sent to you wirelessly throughout the day, allowing you to keep current.

It supports JavaScript, SSL and cookies but does not support media plug-ins (Flash, Shockwave, etc.) or Java applets. You can also rotate your Kindle DX from portrait to landscape to see the entire width of a web page.6.1 Using Basic WebThere are four ways to open the Basic Web browser. The two main ways are to select “Basic Web” 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 Web sites. Selecting these links will open Basic Web and take you to the URL associated with the link. If you select “Basic Web” from the Experimental page, you will open to the last Web site you were viewing in your browser.One other way of accessing the Basic Web browser is to type in a word anytime from any book, blog, newspaper, 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 move the 5-way controller 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 a Search bubble from the Home page.

To the right of the URL text ﬁeld there is a button to stop loading or reload the current page. From there, move your 5-way to the right once, and you can quickly search the Google search engine for the text entered in the URL text ﬁeld. Or, move the 5-way to the right twice to search Wikipedia. Above the URL text ﬁeld are shortcuts to navigate back and forward one page, an indication of how much of the page has been loaded, whether you are viewing the page in Basic or Desktop Mode, and where you are in the web page.USING BOOKMARKS AND ADDING YOUR OWNBookmarks let you easily access a Web page without needing to type the address every time.

Chapter 8 · 106KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONCHAPTER 8: Kindle and Your ComputerYou can download and read text-based content on your Kindle without using your computer. However, if you want to access audiobooks or MP3 ﬁles, you need to transfer them by connecting Kindle to your computer over USB. In addition, there are other tasks you can accomplish using your computer as described in this chapter.8.1 Getting StartedThis section lists the requirements for connecting Kindle to your computer. The USB cable you use with your power adapter can also be used to connect your Kindle to a computer, so there is nothing additional to buy.SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Both Macintosh and Windows users can manage Kindle ﬁles through the USB connection. When your Kindle is plugged into your computer, your Kindle will appear as a removable mass storage device. If your computer is Windows-based, you need to be using Windows 2000 or later. If your computer is a Macintosh, you should be using Mac OS X 10.2 or later. With either computer, you must have an available USB port or an attached USB hub with an available port. MAKING THE CONNECTIONTo connect Kindle to your computer, follow these steps:1. Plug the larger end of the USB cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub connected to your computer. 2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the micro-USB port on the bottom of your Kindle. The illustration below shows a Kindle and a laptop computer connected through the USB cable.

Chapter 8 · 107KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONWhen you are connected to your PC, your Kindle will go into USB drive mode and its battery will be recharged by the computer. Your Whispernet service is temporarily shut off and you will not receive any of your subscriptions while in this mode.

Tip: If you’d like to continue reading your Kindle while its battery is being charged by the computer, you will need to release it from USB drive mode by un-mounting or ejecting the Kindle from the computer. Note that it is always best to use your computer to un-mount or eject your Kindle before disconnecting the USB cable. Consult your computer manual for details on how to properly disconnect a USB storage device.8.2 Handling Files through USBMANAGING YOUR DOCUMENTSWhen your Kindle is connected to a computer and mounted as a USB drive, you will see three default directories or folders.

If your device does get wet, unplug all cables, turn off the wireless (go to Menu, and choose Turn Wireless Off) and let the screen revert to the screen saver. Wait for the device to dry completely before sliding the switch to wake again. Do not attempt to dry your Kindle with an external heat source, such as a microwave, oven or hair dryer. Clean the screen with a soft cloth; be careful not to wipe it with anything abrasive. When carrying your Kindle in a bag or briefcase, keep the book cover on to avoid scratches. Don’t expose your Kindle to extreme heat or cold. For example, don’t leave it in the trunk of your car in sub-zero or high-heat conditions.SERVICING YOUR DEVICEIf your device needs service, consult only Amazon.com authorized personnel by contacting us through Customer Support listed at the end of the Tips and Troubleshooting section. Faulty service may void the warranty.BATTERY SAFETYCharge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° to 95° Fahrenheit (0° to 35° Celsius).

To avoid this problem, consider the tips below:1. Keep the volume down; 2. Avoid prolonged, continuous listening; and 3. Wear headphones that isolate the wanted audio from background noise. WIRELESS SAFETY AND COMPLIANCETurn Amazon Whispernet off in areas where wireless use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. Some speciﬁc situations are described below. In general, you should not use your Kindle with Whispernet turned on any place you are not allowed to use a cellular device.TURN OFF WIRELESS WHEN FLYINGTo prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your device’s wireless service. If you have your wireless service turned off, you can use your Kindle for reading once a crew member has said it is okay to use electronic devices.BE CAREFUL AROUND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICESKindle generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not used in accordance with its instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications and electronic equipment. External RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems, entertainment systems and personal medical devices. While most modern electronic equipment is shielded from external RF signals, if in doubt, check with the manufacturer. For personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and hearing aids), consult with your physician or the manufacturer to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Appendix · 123KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITIONSTEPS TO MINIMIZE INTERFERENCEIf your Kindle does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning your Kindle off and on), you can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for the radio or television; increase the separation between the radio or television and your Kindle; connect equipment and receivers to different outlets; or consult the radio or television manufacturer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.WATCH FOR SIGNSThere are some places where RF signals could constitute a hazard, such as health care facilities, and construction sites. If you are not sure, look around for signs indicating that two-way radios or cell phones should be turned off.EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGYYour Kindle is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States (FCC).The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the speciﬁc absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certiﬁed power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certiﬁed power level, the actual SAR level of Kindle while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because Kindle is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base-station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest measured SAR value for this model Kindle as reported to the FCC when held at least 0.31 of an inch (8.0 mm) from the body is 1.49 W/kg. SAR information on this Kindle is on ﬁle with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on the FCC ID for this device. The FCC ID number for this Kindle can be found on the back of the device.This device may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines if positioned closer than 0.31 of an inch (8.0 mm) from the body while wireless is on. If you place this device on your lap or against your body while wireless is on, you should place at least 0.31 of an inch

Appendix · 124KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 1st EDITION(8.0 mm) of non-metallic material between the device and your body or use an Amazon-branded book cover designed for the device to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed the FCC guidelines.
