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 DX 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 rotate your device sideways for 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 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.

AUDIOBOOKS

You can download and enjoy thousands of audiobooks from Audible.com. Due to their large file size, audiobooks must be downloaded to your PC or Mac over your existing Internet connection and then transferred to Kindle over USB. Listen to audiobooks through Kindle’s speakers or plug in your headphones for private listening. For more information on transferring and listening to audiobooks, see Chapter 8.
