Getting More From Your Kindle

Restart: Restarts your Kindle. You will not lose the books, clippings, or other files stored on

your Kindle. In the event of your Kindle freezing up, press and hold the Power button for 7

seconds until the Power dialog displays, then select Restart. If the Power dialog does not

display, press and hold for 20 seconds.

Reset Device: Resets your Kindle to its original settings and restarts it. You should select

this action only if instructed to do so by Kindle Customer Service. Before you reset your

Kindle to default settings, you must back up any personal documents that you'd like to

keep. Once your Kindle restarts, you will need to register and download your items from the

Cloud. If you want to passcode-protect your Kindle, you must also set up a passcode again.

Device Info: Displays your device's Wi-Fi MAC address, serial number, network capability,

firmware version and free space available.

Legal: Provides trademark, copyright, and notices about the software installed on your

Kindle.

Sync and Check for Items: Tap to sync your Kindle with your online content.

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 Content and Devices 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.
