Kindle 2 User’s Guide 2nd Edition 12
If you have Whispernet on and you select "Shop in Kindle Store" from any menu, Kindle
connects you to a broad offering of reading material including books, newspapers, blogs, and
magazines. You can browse by category or check out the latest bestsellers, new and noteworthy
items, or your personalized recommendations. You can see details about an item, read customer
reviews, and even download free samples of books you are interested in. If you want to buy an
item, Kindle uses secure Amazon 1-Click and then Whispernet delivers the item to your Kindle
generally in under a minute with no wireless delivery charges to you.
Automatic Delivery Since Kindle connects to the Whispernet network, we deliver your favorite periodicals over the
air to your device as soon as they are published, often before they are even available in print. For
example, if you subscribe to the Kindle edition of The Wall Street Journal, the latest edition is
wirelessly delivered overnight so you can read it each morning. Your favorite periodicals follow
you wherever you go in Whispernet's broad coverage area, whether you are at home or on the
road. Also, you pay only for your subscriptions; Amazon.com covers the wireless delivery cost.
Peruse Your Periodicals Just as you would thumb through a physical newspaper or magazine to locate an article of
interest, your Kindle supplies you with navigation shortcuts so that you can quickly zero in on an
article of interest. By moving the 5-way controller right or left you can advance to the next or
previous article and pushing the 5-way brings up the periodical's section list.
Search Your World While you are in Home, the Kindle Store, or reading content, you can use your Kindle's search
feature. From the keyboard, begin typing what you'd like to search for and then using the 5-way
controller, select the range of your search. If you begin your search while in Home or with open
content, you have the option to search for that item in all of your books, newspapers, blogs,
personal documents, and annotations. You also have the option to focus your search to the built-
in dictionary, the Kindle Store, Wikipedia, and the Web.
Clip Your Favorite Passages Have you ever been reading a book or a newspaper and wanted to clip and save a few words to
refer to later? With Kindle, simply select "Add a Note or Highlight" from the menu and use the
5-way to highlight the content you want to clip and then press the 5-way to save your selection.
The clipping is added to a file in Home called "My Clippings." You can review your clippings
later, search for words or terms you clipped, and transfer the "My Clippings" file to your
computer. This is a great way to capture your favorite quotations to share with others.
