Welcome to Thank you for purchasing Amazon Kindle DX. You are reading the Welcome section of the Kindle DX User’s Guide. This section provides an overview of Kindle DX and highlights a few basic features so you can start reading as quickly as possible. You can leave this guide at any time by pressing the Home button on your Kindle. To turn to the next page, press on the Next Page button. If your Kindle was a gift, you will need to register your device.
Congratulations! You are reading on your new Kindle DX. If you haven’t done so already, please follow the Getting Started instructions that came with your Kindle and plug in your Kindle to charge the battery. The charge indicator light on the bottom edge of your Kindle turns yellow and a lightning bolt appears on the battery icon at the top of the display. Charging the battery fully should take less than three hours and you can continue reading while it charges.
To select a particular item such as a menu option or a specific word in your reading material, move the 5-way controller up, down, left, or right to highlight your choice and then press to select. You can press the Next or Previous Page button to move forward or backward in your reading material and press the Back button to retrace your steps on your Kindle. Use the keyboard to type words or phrases when searching your reading material or items in the Kindle Store.
In a book or periodical you are currently reading, you can change the text size by pressing the Text key , and moving the 5-way controller to choose the size you prefer; then press the 5-way to select. The text changes to the new size. Repeat the same steps to change the text size back or to change it to a size comfortable for you to read.
Your Choice of Number of Words per Line You can also change the number of words per line in the book or periodical you are currently reading. Press the Text key , move the 5-way controller to choose the number of words per line you prefer and press the 5-way to select. This changes the width of the margins. You may find you read faster with fewer words per line. Experiment to see what works best for you.
Let Kindle Read to You You can also choose to turn on the experimental application, Text-to-Speech, which will read aloud your books (where allowed by the rights holder), newspapers, blogs, and personal documents. You can either listen through your Kindle’s external speakers or plug in earphones into the headphone jack. While Text-to-Speech is playing, the screen will turn the pages automatically so you can follow along while the audio is playing.
Shop Anytime, Anywhere 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.
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.
Convert Your Own Documents In addition to all of the great reading material you can get from the Kindle Store, Amazon can also convert your own documents so you can read them on Kindle. You can e-mail Microsoft Word, TXT, RTF, HTML or image files like JPEGs and GIFs to your dedicated Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com).
not present on the Kindle keyboard, press the Symbol key on the bottom of the keyboard to see a menu of the extended characters and use the 5-way to select the character you require. Alternatively, you can register your Kindle by visiting the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com at: http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle You can leave the Kindle DX User’s Guide, or any item you are reading, at any time by pressing the Home button.
CHAPTER 1: Getting Started with Your Kindle In the Welcome chapter of the Kindle DX User’s Guide, you read about many of the things you can do with your Kindle. This chapter reviews all of the physical features of Kindle and covers the basics of using the Kindle buttons, menus, and keyboard. 1.1 Views of Kindle DX FRONT VIEW The front of your Kindle contains the screen, the keyboard, and the navigation controls. These features are illustrated below and explained in the list that follows.
Volume controls — controls the headphone or speaker volume for audiobooks, background music, and text-to-speech. Home button — shows content stored on your Kindle as well as content archived at Amazon. Previous Page button — takes you to the previous page in your reading material. Next Page button — takes you to the next page in your reading material. Menu button — displays application and navigation choices that are related to the screen you are viewing.
Text key — adjusts font size and number of words per line to suit your reading preference. Also allows you to turn on/off Text-to-Speech and to change the screen rotation settings.
TOP VIEW Power Switch Headphone Jack Power switch — puts your Kindle to sleep, wakes it up, and turns your Kindle on or off. To put your Kindle to sleep, slide and release the power switch; a full screen image appears on the display. While your Kindle is asleep, other keys and buttons are locked so that you don’t accidentally change the place in your reading. To turn your Kindle off, slide and hold the power switch for four seconds until the screen goes blank and then release.
BOTTOM VIEW Speaker Charge Indicator Light Micro-USB/ Power Port Speaker The bottom of your Kindle contains the charge indicator light, a micro-USB port and two speakers. Micro-USB/power port — Attach the USB cord that came with your Kindle into the micro-USB/power port and into the Kindle power adapter*. Plug the adapter into a U.S.-compatible electrical outlet to charge the Kindle battery.
1.2 Getting Around To get around on your Kindle, you use the buttons, menus, and the keyboard—all of which are explained here. USING THE BUTTONS In the Welcome section you learned about the navigation buttons (Previous Page, Next Page, and Back). For an explanation of what each button does, see Front View of Kindle. USING THE MENUS In addition to the physical buttons, you also navigate Kindle using the menus. Kindle’s menus are context sensitive, but they all work the same way.
The illustration below shows the Home menu; the bold line under “Shop in Kindle Store” indicates that it is ready to be selected.
THE APPLICATION MENU You can display a menu from any screen on your Kindle. When you press the Menu button, it displays choices related to the screen you are viewing. The sample screen below shows you the screen you would typically see when you press the Menu button from within a book.
1.3 Entering Text To use the Kindle keyboard, most people find it easiest to place the device flat on a table and use the tips of their fingers to press the keys. Shift Key ALT Key Text Key Symbol Key Delete/ Backspace Return/Enter LOWERCASE AND UPPERCASE LETTERS To enter lowercase letters, press the appropriate letter key. To enter uppercase letters, hold down the Shift key , and then press the desired letter key like you do on your computer keyboard.
Use the 5-way controller to choose the character you want and it will appear in your text entry box.
1.4 Screen Rotation The Kindle DX screen image can rotate to match the way you are holding your Kindle. The display changes accordingly from portrait to landscape. So you can now magnify the page of a PDF or see the entire width of a web page using only your movements. The buttons work the same in either rotation, but the 5-way controller movements are switched to match the rotation. By default, the Kindle DX auto-rotates the screen image based on your orientation.
Tip: Want the Next and Prev Page buttons on the left? Simply rotate the device 180 degrees so that the buttons are on the left side. 1.5 Status Indicators At the top of every screen, you also see Whispernet and battery life status indicators to keep you in the know. WHISPERNET STATUS INDICATORS The Whispernet status indicator shows you whether the wireless radio is turned on or off, the signal strength of your Whispernet service, and the connection speed.
The Whispernet service is turned off. You can turn on the wireless by pressing the Menu button, and using the 5-way controller to navigate to “Turn Wireless On.” When you activate a menu, icons indicating the speed of your Whispernet service appear to the left side of the signal bars. Kindle DX with international wireless EDGE and GPRS wireless networks are slower than the 3G Whispernet service. Your Kindle will automatically switch to the faster 3G network when available.
CHAPTER 2: Getting to Know Kindle Content The Kindle Home screen gives you an overall picture of what you currently have on your Kindle. It shows you what has arrived recently, what you are reading, and where you are in your reading. It also allows you to remove content from your Kindle and to move content from Amazon.com to your Kindle. Read below for more details. 2.
BLOGS Blogs are subscription-based and appear on the Home screen as a single entry like books. As additional blog content arrives, it is added to the item and older entries are rolled off, much like a blog works on a computer. AUDIOBOOKS Audiobooks look similar to books, but they will be labeled in the Home screen as audio content. Like regular books, they have a progress indicator that shows where you are in the audiobook.
HOME SCREEN FEATURES What you see on your Home screen varies depending on what reading materials you have purchased, and how you choose to show and sort this list. The screen sample and list below explain the features that you may find on your Home screen.
Device name — the name of your Kindle. You can edit this name on the Settings screen. Show options — choose which types of content you want displayed in Home. Sort options — choose the order you want content displayed in Home. Title — the title of the item. PDF title — the “pdf” label indicates the file is a PDF. Author or Date — for books, the author of the item is listed. For periodicals and blogs, the date is listed. Sample title — the “sample” label indicates the book is a sample.
SHOW OPTIONS The following screen sample shows the location of the Show options and the list below explains each of the options. Moving the 5-way controller to the left lets you select what items to show in Home.
Personal Docs — shows only the Personal Documents you have stored on your Kindle, including PDF files. Subscriptions — shows only the periodicals and blogs you have stored on your Kindle. Books — shows only the books and audiobooks you have stored on your Kindle. All My Items — shows all of the content you have stored on your Kindle. CHANGING WHAT YOUR HOME SCREEN SHOWS By default, the Home screen shows all of your content. To change the type of content displayed, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
SORT OPTIONS The following screen shows the location of the Sort options and the list below explains each of the options. Moving the 5-way to the right lets you change how to sort these items.
Most Recent First — sorts your content by the most recently added or recently opened items first. Title — sorts your content alphabetically by title of the item. Author — sorts your content alphabetically by the author’s last name or publisher’s name. If you choose this option, periodicals will be sorted by their dates. CHANGING HOW THE HOME SCREEN IS SORTED By default, your content is sorted by most recent first, meaning all of the new items and the content you are currently reading are at the top.
THE HOME SCREEN MENU The Home screen menu allows you to navigate to other places in Kindle or to perform specialized tasks. To display the Home screen menu, press the Menu button when your Home screen is displayed. The list below explains the menu.
Turn Wireless Off/On — turns the Whispernet service off or on. Shop in Kindle Store — takes you to the Kindle Storefront. View Archived Items — takes you to Archived Items where you can view and wirelessly re-download content you are storing at Amazon.com. Search — brings up the Search text entry page for submitting a word or phrase to search for. Settings — takes you to the Settings screen.
MORE ABOUT MANAGING ITEMS Amazon also stores the seven most recent issues of your newspapers and magazines. If you’d like to keep a copy of an issue indefinitely, open the issue, press the Menu button, and select “Keep this Issue”; you will then see the word “keep” to the left of the issue title in Home. You can download items stored at Amazon.com any time you are within Whispernet coverage.
CHAPTER 3: Reading on Kindle 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. 3.1 Types of Content 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.
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.
BACKGROUND MUSIC If you like to listen to music while you use your Kindle, use your computer to transfer MP3 files to the “music” folder on your Kindle. When you select “Play MP3” from the Experimental page, each of the songs will play in the order they were added to your Kindle. 3.2 Content Formatting on Kindle When you read a book on Kindle, you will find that the formatting generally follows the printed version of the book. If the book has a table of contents, it will appear in Kindle.
PROGRESS INDICATOR At the bottom of every page of your reading material, you can see where you are by glancing at the progress indicator. As you progress further into the content, you will see a solid bar growing longer. The progress indicator also shows structural marks within content such as chapters, articles, bookmarks, notes or highlights.
In books, the progress indicator also shows you the overall percentage of the book you have read and a numeric location of where you are reading, so you can easily find a particular passage or reference it to your friends. Locations are the digital answer to page numbers. Changing the text size on Kindle also changes the page numbering, but with locations, you return to the same place every time regardless of the text size. CHANGING THE TEXT SIZE You can adjust the size of the text to suit your preference.
To pick the text size that you want to use while reading, follow these steps: 1. P ress the Text key located on the bottom row the of keyboard. The text size choices are displayed as well as controls for Text-to-Speech. 2. Move the 5-way left or right to the new text size that you want to use (you see the new text size immediately). 3. Press the 5-way or the Text key to confirm your choice.
3.3 Moving from Place to Place There are several ways for you to get from place to place once you have opened your reading material. Most often you will turn pages using the Next Page and Previous Page buttons (described in Chapter 1). You can also get around inside your book or periodical by selecting locations from the item’s Menu, clicking on links in the content, or by moving the 5-way controller left or right to advance to another article or chapter.
If you are reading a Kindle book, the menu shows the following options: Turn Wireless Off — turns off Whispernet. When Whispernet is off, this option will change to “Turn Wireless On.” Shop in Kindle Store — takes you to the Kindle Storefront. Buy This Book Now — connects to the Kindle Store, purchases, and downloads the full book to your Kindle. Only appears if you are reading a sample from the Kindle Store.
Cover — takes you to the cover page of the item you are reading. This is usually the cover of the book. Table of Contents — takes you to the Table of Contents for the item you are reading. Go to Beginning — takes you to the place in the book the publisher considers to be the beginning. This is usually the first chapter, but may be a foreword, the table of contents, or other point the publisher chooses.
If you are reading a newspaper or magazine, you will see the following different options: Clip This Article — makes a copy of the entire article and adds it to your “My Clippings” file. Keep This Issue — designates the newspaper or magazine issue as one to be stored in your Kindle until you remove it.
If you are reading a blog, you will see the following options: KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 2nd EDITION Chapter 3 · 52
NAVIGATING WITHIN A PERIODICAL At the bottom of a newspaper or magazine you will see options for quickly navigating within an issue. When viewing a blog, you will see similar options for navigation.

View Sections List — takes you to the sections list of a newspaper or magazine when you press the 5-way. View Articles List — takes you to the articles list of a blog when you press the 5-way.
To navigate to a particular section, use the 5-way controller to underline the section title and then press the 5-way to select.

3.4 Looking Up Definitions While reading a book, periodical, or personal document (except PDF), you can see a brief definition of a word using the Lookup feature. You can choose the dictionary you want to use when you look up words while you are reading. The default is The New Oxford American Dictionary included on your Kindle, but you can change your dictionary choice by purchasing a different dictionary from the “Kindle Default Dictionary” category in the Kindle Store.
Kindle also gathers the annotations you’ve made across all your various books, magazines, newspapers, and personal documents and places them in the “My Clippings” file in your Home screen. See Using Clippings for more information on My Clippings. The list below explains the types of annotations: Bookmarks — mark an entire page for later reference. Highlights — mark a passage on a page for later reference. Notes — add your thoughts about a passage. The sections below explain how to add annotations.
PLACING A BOOKMARK To place a bookmark: 1. Go to the page that you want to bookmark. 2. Press the Menu button. 3. Move the 5-way controller down until “Add a Bookmark” is underlined. Press the 5-way to select. 4. A dog-ear icon in the upper right corner of the page will appear, indicating that the page is bookmarked.

You can view them at any time by pressing the Menu button and selecting “My Notes & Marks.” See Viewing Your Annotations for more information.

Connect your Kindle to your computer using the USB cable. 2. Your Kindle should appear on your computer in the same location you would normally find an external USB drive. 3. Open your Kindle. You should see a folder entitled Documents. Transfer the “My Clippings” file out of this folder. 4.
3.6 Reading PDF files Your Kindle DX is able to display most PDF documents. (Note that password-protected PDF files are not supported.) When your Kindle is held in portrait orientation, PDF documents are displayed in their original layout and fit the entire screen of the device. White margins of PDF documents are automatically cropped to maximize the amount of content shown on the screen.
In landscape orientation, Kindle automatically magnifies your document to fit the width of the screen to improve readability. A black outline defines the limit of the page of the PDF document. In both portrait and landscape orientations, the bottom of the screen shows how far you have read in a particular item as a percentage, and displays the current page number, as well as the total number of pages of the current document.
USING THE PDF MENU The options available while reading a PDF file are slightly different than when reading a book or a periodical on Kindle. Options that are not available in PDF files are grayed out in the menu.
Cover — takes you to the cover page of the item you are reading. Go to Beginning — takes you to the beginning of the PDF file. Go to Page… — displays a text entry box at the bottom of the screen, so you can specify a page to jump to in the content. Search This Document — displays the Search line at the bottom of the screen. This allows you search for a word or a combination of words inside the currently opened PDF document.
AUDIOBOOKS On your Home screen, your audiobooks list the title and author, but they also have the word “audio” next to the title to indicate that they are audiobooks. To listen to one of your audiobooks, select it from your Home screen. You will see a page similar to the one shown below. Kindle provides a standard set of controls that are explained below.
Progress Indicator — indicates how far you have come in the audiobook, the elapsed time, and the section you are in. Pause/Play — pauses or plays the audiobook (there is no Stop control). Forward 30 Seconds — moves ahead thirty seconds from the current location. Beginning — takes you back to the beginning of the audiobook. Previous Section — moves backwards in the audiobook to the previous section. Back 30 Seconds — moves backwards thirty seconds from the current location.

Textto-Speech can be turned off by pressing the Text key and selecting “pause” or “turn off.” Tip: You can also play or stop Text-to-Speech by holding down the Shift key and pressing the Symbol key . You can pause and resume Text-to-Speech by pressing the Spacebar.
CHAPTER 4: Searching on Kindle Kindle allows you to take advantage of powerful search capabilities. You can search locally on Kindle or remotely at the Kindle Store, Wikipedia, or the Web. 4.1 Introduction to Search This section describes the types of searches that you can perform using Kindle and how to use search. TYPES OF SEARCHES Kindle supports several types of search as summarized below. SEARCHING WHAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING You can limit a search to only what you are currently reading.
SEARCHING FOR DEFINITIONS You can limit a search to the dictionary. Kindle searches your default dictionary for definitions of the word you have entered. PERFORMING A SEARCH To perform a search, follow these steps: 1. T ype in your search term; the Search bubble containing the term appears automatically. You can use whole words, and no distinction is made between lower and upper case. 2. 2 .
4.2 Search Results Page When searching all your content, Kindle looks in the reading materials you have on your Kindle and the metadata (like title and author) of the materials you have in Archived Items. This includes purchased items, personal documents, and annotations that you have created. The example below shows a typical Search Results page.
The screen shows the titles of the items that contain your search term and indicates how many times the term occurs. The list is ordered by the number of occurrences of the search term in each item. If the term appears in a title of an archived item, then that item is listed first and does not include the number of occurrences. Use the Next Page and Previous Page buttons if there are more results than fit on the current page.
Use the Next Page and Previous Page buttons if there are more results than fit on the Search Results page. To go to a specific location in the content where the search term occurs, use the 5-way to underline the location and press the 5-way to select. If the search results encompass multiple pages, then use the Next Page and Previous Page buttons to navigate between pages. To close the Search Results page, move the 5-way to highlight “Close Search Results” and press the 5-way.
SEARCH RESULTS FOR A DEFINITION When you want to look up the meaning of a word, you can limit a search to the dictionary. Kindle searches your default dictionary for definitions of the word you enter. To find a definition, follow these steps: 1. Type in the word you want defined. 2. Move the 5-way right to highlight “dictionary.” 3. Press the 5-way to submit your search. You will see a complete definition of the word.
4.3 Performing Remote Searches To search remotely, you must have Whispernet switched on. You can select any of the remote searches described in this section. If Whispernet is not already on, press the Menu button. Move the 5-way controller to underline “Turn Wireless On” and press the 5-way to select and turn on Whispernet. SEARCHING WIKIPEDIA To search Wikipedia, enter your term and move the 5-way to select “wikipedia.” This opens Basic Web and displays the Wikipedia page.
You can narrow results by categories by clicking on the drop-down list located in the upper right corner of the Search Results page. Tip: You can also narrow a search in the Kindle Store to an author’s name by typing “@author” followed by the author’s name. For example, to search the Kindle Store for books by Agatha Christie, enter “@author Agatha Christie” in the Search line. This will narrow your Kindle Store search to find only books written by Agatha Christie.
CHAPTER 5: The Kindle Store The Kindle Store is the place to purchase your Kindle books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Find an item in the store, select “Buy,” and you will typically receive your item wirelessly in under a minute.

CHAPTER 6: Accessing the Web Your Kindle comes with an Experimental application called Basic Web, which is a Web browser optimized to read Web sites that are primarily text-based. It supports JavaScript, SSL and cookies but does not support media plug-ins (Flash, Shockwave, etc.) or Java applets. You can also rotate your Kindle DX from portrait to landscape to see the entire width of a web page. 6.1 Using Basic Web There are four ways to open the Basic Web browser.
Loading Progress Viewing Mode Show Options Location Search Google URL Text Field Reload or Stop Loading The URL text field is embedded in a navigation bar with a few other key shortcuts. To the right of the URL text field there is a button to stop loading or reload the current page. From there, move your 5-way to the right once, and you can quickly search the Google search engine for the text entered in the URL text field. Or, move the 5-way to the right twice to search Wikipedia.
USING NEXT PAGE AND PREVIOUS PAGE Most Web pages you find on the Internet will have more content than can be displayed on one page. Use the Next Page and Previous Page buttons to move through these pages. This is equivalent to using your mouse on a computer to move up and down through a Web page. You can also move the cursor down with the 5-way controller until it reaches the bottom of the page.
Using the 5-way controller, highlight the link you want to go to and press the 5-way. The browser will open that page. If you want to enter information in an input field in a Web page to search that site, for example, you should move the cursor to that input field and begin typing. When you finish typing, press down on the nearby Go or Enter or Search button to retrieve the results.
THE BASIC WEB MENU The Basic Web menu contains other items you can select, many of which also appear in the Browser’s navigation bar. To view the menu, press the Menu button when the Basic Web browser is on the screen.
Turn Wireless Off — turns the Whispernet connection off. If you turn the wireless off, you will not be able to use the browser. Shop in Kindle Store — takes you to the Kindle Storefront. Enter URL — takes you directly to the URL field where you can enter a web address to visit. Go to Top — returns you to the top of the current Web page. Bookmarks — displays your list of Web bookmarks. Bookmark This Page — adds the current page to the bottom of your list of bookmarks.
6.2 Other Features As you become more familiar with the Basic Web browser, the following topics may be of interest to you. TEXT SIZE Just like when you are reading a book or periodical, you can adjust the size of the text when viewing Web pages. See Chapter 3 for details on how to change text size. DOWNLOADING FILES Some Web sites may have books or documents you can download and read on your Kindle.
BASIC WEB SETTINGS You can modify the default browser behaviors and perform simple maintenance procedures using Basic Web Settings. To display the Settings screen, press the Menu button while in the browser and then use the 5-way to select “Settings.
Switch to Desktop Mode — switches between Basic and Desktop modes, when you view Basic Web. Clear Cache — removes temporary Internet files from your Kindle. Move the onscreen highlight to “Clear Cache” and press the 5-way controller to clear the cache. Clear History — removes cached Internet address entries from your Kindle. Move the on-screen highlight to “Clear History” and press the 5-way to clear this list. Clear Cookies — removes cookies from your Kindle.
CHAPTER 7: Settings and Experimental Use the Kindle Settings page to personalize items on Kindle such as the name of your Kindle, automatic backup, personal information, etc. The Settings page also gives you information about your Kindle, such as the software version number. The Experimental page contains a number of prototype concepts we are working on. 7.1 Adjusting Your Kindle Settings The Settings page is shown below and the features are explained in the list that follows.

If your Kindle is lost or transferred to another user, you should deregister your Kindle from your account.
DEREGISTERING YOUR KINDLE If you want to transfer ownership of your Kindle or return it for service or recycling, you should deregister it to prevent unauthorized purchases. The process is similar to the registration process described above. Just select “deregister” from the Registration section and select “ok” to confirm. Note that you will not be able to buy or download samples from the store, or use Basic Web if your Kindle is not registered.
CHOOSING YOUR PRIMARY DICTIONARY You can choose the dictionary you want to use when you look up words while you are reading. The default is The New Oxford American Dictionary included on your Kindle, but you can change your dictionary choice by purchasing a different dictionary on the Kindle Store and then following these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

In addition, there are other tasks you can accomplish using your computer as described in this chapter. 8.1 Getting Started This section lists the requirements for connecting Kindle to your computer.
When you are connected to your PC, your Kindle will go into USB drive mode and its battery will be recharged by the computer.
