CHAPTER 5

The Kindle Store

The Kindle Store is the place to purchase your Kindle books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Find an item in the store, select "Buy", and you will receive your item wirelessly in under a minute. All of your Kindle purchases use Amazon 1-Click for easy purchasing and Amazon automatically backs up all of your purchases in Your Media Library in case you lose your Kindle or want to download a title again. To help other Amazon users decide what to buy, you can also add your own ratings and reviews.

5.1 Getting Started at the Store

This section tells you how to connect to the Kindle Store on your Kindle, and provides some ideas about the best ways to look for content once you are connected.

Connecting to the Kindle Store

You connect to the Kindle Store using your device's built-in Whispernet service which employs the same technology used in advanced cell phones. To go to the Kindle Store, follow these steps:

1.If Whispernet is not already on, slide the wireless switch on the back of your Kindle to the ON position.

2.Scroll the cursor to the Menu, and press the select wheel.

3.From the menu, select "Shop in Kindle Store".

You will see a 'wireless connecting' message at the bottom of the page if you are not already connected and then the Kindle Store storefront will appear as shown later in this chapter and serves as a launch point for all of the Kindle Store services.

5.2 Kindle Store Pages

This section describes the different pages you will find at the Kindle Store, like the Kindle Storefront, the Browse pages, and the product detail pages for individual pieces of content.

The Kindle Storefront

When you select "Shop in Kindle Store" from any menu, you will be taken to the Kindle Storefront. An example is shown below, the storefront you see may be different as we update it often. The features are explained in the list that follows.
