necessary and send them back to your computer for free or wirelessly to your Kindle for a small fee, whichever you prefer. For more information on transferring, converting, and e-mailing your personal documents, see Chapter 8.

Audiobooks

You can download and enjoy thousands of audiobooks from Audible.com. Due to their file size, audiobooks must be downloaded to your PC over your existing Internet connection and then transferred to Kindle over USB. Listen to audiobooks via Kindle's speaker or plug in your headphones for private listening.

Background Music

If you like to listen to music while you use your Kindle, use your computer to transfer MP3 files to the "music" folder on your Kindle or on an inserted SD memory card. When you select "Play Music" from the Experimental page, each of the songs will play in random order.

3.2 Content Formatting on Kindle

When you read a book on Kindle, you will find that the formatting generally follows the printed version of the book. If the book has a table of contents, it will appear in Kindle. If the book has chapters, a preface, an illustrated cover, and so forth, these will be displayed.

While you are reading, each page displays a header showing the content title and the author or issue date. The bottom of the page shows the battery and Whispernet status indicators, the Menu, the progress indicator, and the location numbers. The status indicators and the Menu were discussed in earlier chapters. As discussed in Chapter 2, the progress indicator shows your progress in the item you are reading. The location numbers are the digital equivalent of physical page numbers and provide a way to easily reference an exact place in your reading material regardless of what size text you prefer.
