CHAPTER 7

Settings and Experimental

The Settings page is a centralized location which lets you personalize items on Kindle such as the name of your Kindle, automatic backup, personal information, etc., as well as gives you informational items such as storage space available or the software version of your Kindle. The Experimental page contains a number of prototype solutions we are working on.
