Listening to background music
If you'd like to listen to music while reading your Kindle, use your computer to transfer
MP3 files to the "music" folder on the device. See Using your Kindle with your computer
for more information. To play music files, select Experimental from the menu on the Home
screen, then choose MP3 Player. A toolbar with playback controls will appear at the
bottom of the Kindle screen. The songs will play in the order they were added to your
Kindle.
Carrying and reading personal documents
Your Kindle makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating the need
to print them. You and your approved contacts can e-mail documents to your Kindle. To
locate your Send-to-Kindle E-mail address, from the Home screen tap the Menu button
and select Settings. On the Settings page, tap Device Options and select Personalise
Your Kindle. Your e-mailed personal documents will be backed up in your Kindle Library
and ready to download at any time when Personal Document Archiving is enabled. To
learn more about this feature and enable the Personal Document Archiving feature, go to
the Manage Your Kindle page (accessible from www.kindle.com/support).
You can send Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), PDF, HTML, TXT, RTF, JPEG, GIF, PNG,
BMP, PRC and MOBI files to your Kindle and read them in Kindle format. You can add
notes, highlights and bookmarks, which are synchronised across devices, together with
the last page you read, via our Whispersync technology. Synchronisation of notes,
highlights, bookmarks and last page read is available only for personal documents
archived in Kindle format. You can also read documents in PDF and TXT format natively.
Reading Kindle content on other devices
You can synchronise your Kindle books with other supported devices you own and Kindle
reading applications. Amazon's Whispersync technology keeps track of the last reading
location in each book. For example, you can read a few pages using the Kindle application
on your iPhone, iPad or Android device and then pick up right where you left off when you
return to your Kindle. For a complete list of supported devices and Device Synchronisation
settings, go to www.kindle.com/support.
