Acquiring & Managing Kindle Content
Shop in the Kindle Store anytime, anywhere
The Kindle Store offers a wide selection of Kindle books, Kindle Singles (novella-length
narratives), newspapers, magazines and blogs. To access the store, tap the top of the
screen to display the toolbars, then tap the Shopping Basket button. You can also select
Shop in Kindle Store from some menus.
To navigate within the Kindle Store, simply tap on any area of interest, then swipe left and
right or up and down to move around pages and lists. You can search for a title, browse
by category, check out the latest bestsellers, or view recommendations personalised just
for you. The Kindle Store lets you see details about titles, read customer reviews and even
download book samples.
When you're ready to make a purchase, the Kindle Store uses your Amazon 1-Click
payment method securely. After you order, the Amazon Whispernet service delivers the
item directly to your Kindle via your wireless connection. Books are downloaded to your
Kindle immediately, generally in less than 60 seconds. Newspapers, magazines and blogs
are sent to your device as soon as they're published — often even before they're available
in print. If your Kindle is in Aeroplane Mode when a new issue of a periodical becomes
available, the issue will be delivered automatically the next time you have a wireless
connection.
Whispersync synchronises your Kindle device so that purchases within Kindle apps or
other Kindle devices registered with your account are always available to you. This
enables you to 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
device. For more information, see Reading Kindle content on other devices.
Device and Cloud storage
Content that is purchased from the Kindle Store is stored securely and available in the
Cloud. This includes copies of all your books, along with recent issues of newspapers and
magazines. To view your Cloud content, tap Cloud in the top left of the Home screen.
Your personal documents are also saved in the Cloud if they have been e-mailed to your
Kindle and if you have enabled Personal Document Archiving on the Manage Your Kindle
page.
To view content stored on your Kindle, tap On Device. If you are preparing to go offline,
tap Cloud and download to your Kindle any content that you want to have available when
offline.
If you wish to download content that you have in the Cloud, tap Cloud on the Home
screen, then tap on the item(s) you want to download to your Kindle. You can cancel a
download by tapping on the item's title. Cloud items that have been downloaded to your
Kindle display a tick mark on the upper right corner of the cover image when in cover
