KINDLE USER’S GUIDE 4

th

 EDITION

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.

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 

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