Chapter 4 Getting More From Your Kindle

Loaning Kindle books

In many cases, you can share your favorite book with any friend who has a Kindle or uses

a Kindle application on another supported device. Each eligible Kindle book can be loaned

one time for up to 14 days. You cannot read the book yourself during the loan period. It is up

to the publisher or rights holder to determine which titles are eligible for lending. For more

information about lending a book, go to www.kindle.com/support. This feature is not available

in all countries.

Borrowing Kindle books from your local library

Kindle books are available at more than 11,000 libraries across the U.S. You can check out a

Kindle book from your local library and read it on any generation Kindle device or free Kindle

reading app.

When you borrow a Kindle public library book, you’ll have access to all the unique features

of Kindle books, including real page numbers and Whispersync technology that synchronizes

your notes, highlights, and last page read. After a library book expires, if you check it out

again or choose to purchase it from the Kindle Store, all of your annotations and bookmarks

will be displayed again. Note that library books can only be downloaded using Wi-Fi. This

feature is not available in all countries.

Using your Kindle with your computer

You can add content to your Kindle by connecting it to your computer via the supplied USB

cable. When you first connect the Kindle to a computer’s USB port, it will appear as an

external storage drive or volume on the computer’s desktop. You’ll see a directory or folder

called “documents.” You can add Kindle-compatible files to these directories, and you can

copy, move, or delete the files that are already there. See the Kindle Support website (www.

kindle.com/support) for more information on supported file types.

Your Kindle is not usable as a reading device while in USB drive mode. To read a book while

charging the battery, you must eject the Kindle from your computer’s desktop. The battery

icon on the Kindle will have a lightning bolt to indicate that its battery is still being charged.

Using the Experimental Web Browser

Your Kindle includes an experimental application called Web Browser that enables you to surf

the web and view most Amazon web pages. Web Browser supports JavaScript, SSL, and

cookies, but does not support media plug-ins.

To launch Web Browser, from the Home screen press the Menu button and select

Experimental. On the Experimental page, select launch browser. The first time you access

this page, you will find a list of default bookmarks for commonly used sites. To exit the

bookmarks page, select close bookmarks. You can access these bookmarks later, by selecting

Bookmarks from the Web Browser menu.

To enter a URL, press the Menu button and select Enter URL. Press the keyboard button to

enter the web address, and then select the ”go to” button. The address field will retain the

last URL you entered.

The following tips will help you get the most out of the Kindle Web Browser:
