KINDLE USER’S GUIDE 4

th

 EDITION

Kindle retains the best qualities of printed books, but adds many features that are 

available only through digital technologies such as word look up, changeable text size, 
and clippings. This chapter explains more about Kindle’s reading features.

There are many types of reading material available for your Kindle such as books, 

newspapers, magazines, and blogs. If you want to begin purchasing and downloading 
reading material, you can learn more in Chapter 5. You can also purchase audiobooks 

from Audible.com and even have Amazon convert and deliver personal documents  
to your Kindle. The different types of supported content are described below.

Thousands of books — both popular and hard-to-find — are available in the Kindle 

Store. Once you buy a book, it usually arrives wirelessly in under a minute. Because 

you can’t always judge a book by its cover, you can download and read a sample of 
most Kindle books for free. If you like it, simply buy it from within the sample and 
continue reading. You can learn more about this feature in Chapter 5.

The Kindle Store offers a selection of U.S. and international newspapers. 

Subscriptions are delivered wirelessly to your Kindle overnight so that the latest 

edition can arrive on your device every morning, and every newspaper subscription 
starts with a free trial.

The Kindle Store offers an expanding selection of magazines to meet every interest. 

As with newspapers, all periodical subscriptions are delivered wirelessly and start 

with a free trial.
