Getting Started
Welcome to your new Kindle Paperwhite. This short guide will familiarize you with all of
the features and functionality of your Kindle. Some Kindle features may not be available
based on your country of residence or location. Please visit
www.amazon.com/devicesupport for more information about specific features.
Registering your Kindle
If you bought your Kindle online using your Amazon account, it is already registered to
you. To verify, tap the Home button and look for your Amazon user name in the upper left
corner of the Home screen. If it says My Kindle or shows the name of a previous owner
instead of your own Amazon account name, you'll need to register it. See Setting up your
Kindle Paperwhite in this chapter for instructions on setting up and registering your Kindle.
Kindle controls
You need to learn only a few simple controls to use your Kindle Paperwhite.
