EDITION

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. You have the choice of hearing your content spoken with a male or female

voice and can also further optimize the listening experience by slowing down or

increasing the rate of speech.

Look It Up

Your Kindle includes The New Oxford American Dictionary. You can easily look up

a particular word without leaving the content. Simply use the 5-way controller to

navigate the cursor in front of the word you want deﬁned. A deﬁnition of the word

appears at the bottom of the screen. To view the full deﬁnition, press the Return key

on the keyboard. To return to the text you were reading, press the Back button.

Take It All with You

Although Kindle is about the size of a paperback book, it can store over a thousand

digital books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines, which are referred to collectively

as “content” throughout this guide. A copy of all your books and recent issues of

newspapers and magazines purchased from the Kindle Store are kept on Amazon.com.
