BLOGS

The Kindle Store offers thousands of Kindle blogs, including up-to-the-minute news feeds and topical blogs. 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. Unlike traditional feeds, which often only provide headlines, Kindle downloads the complete feed onto the device so you can read them even when you are not wirelessly connected. All blog subscriptions are delivered wirelessly and start with a free trial.

PERSONAL DOCUMENTS

In addition to purchased content, you can read your personal documents on Kindle.

Kindle can display a PDF document without losing the formatting of the original file. You can either drag PDF files over USB to your device 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). When you choose to e-mail a PDF, we will wirelessly provide it directly to your Kindle via Whispernet for a fee. You can

also press the Text key to change the orientation of your display to widescreen viewing. For more information on the unique aspects of reading PDF files on Kindle, see Section 3.6.

Additionally, if you have files formatted as text, Microsoft Word, HTML, PDF, or image files like GIF or JPEG, you can e-mail the files as attachments to your Kindle e-mail address. Amazon will convert the files if necessary and send them back to your computer for free or via Whispernet to your Kindle for a fee, whichever you prefer. For more information on transferring, converting, and e-mailing your personal documents, see Chapter 8.

For details on fees, see the “Your individual charges” section of your Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com.
