Thank you for purchasing Amazon Kindle. You are reading the Welcome section of the Kindle User's Guide. This guide provides an overview of Kindle 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 key 
on the keyboard. To turn to the next page, press and release one of the Next Page buttons on either side of the display.
Congratulations!
You are reading your first Kindle book.
If you haven't done so already, please follow the instructions on the Start Kindling sticker that was attached to your Kindle display and plug in your Kindle to charge the battery. The charge indicator light will illuminate on the bottom edge of your Kindle and a lightning bolt will appear on the battery icon at the bottom of the display. Charging the battery fully should take less than two hours and you can continue reading while it charges.
Tip: The charge indicator light will turn off when the battery is fully charged and will come back on after the battery has run down a bit and Kindle "tops off" the charge.
