Acquiring & Managing Kindle Content

Shop the Kindle Store anytime, anywhere

The Kindle Store offers a wide selection of Kindle books, Kindle Singles, newspapers,

magazines, and blogs. To access the store, tap the top of the screen to display the toolbars,

then tap the Shopping Cart button. You can also select Shop 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 best sellers, or view recommendations personalized 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 securely uses your Amazon 1-Click

payment method. 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. The download progress will display below the

book’s cover or title on the Home screen indicating the download status. A New banner on the

book indicates when the book is ready to be opened. 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 Airplane 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 synchronizes your Kindle device so that purchases and downloaded book

samples within Kindle apps or other Kindle devices registered to 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.

Kindle Unlimited is an optional monthly subscription that enables you to read as much as you

want on any device, and choose from over 700,000 titles and thousands of audiobooks. You

can freely explore new authors, books, and genres from mysteries and romance to sci-fi and

more. To learn more, visit the Kindle Store.

Recommended content

When in cover view, your Kindle Home screen displays recommended content from the

Kindle Store, such as Editors’ Picks. In addition, you will see Goodreads Want to Read shelf

content if you have shelved enough qualified books to your Goodreads on Kindle Want to

Read shelf. Tapping an item will direct you to the Kindle Store, where you can view additional

details, read customer reviews, and complete purchases. Swipe or tap to view additional

content. To hide recommended content, tap the Menu button and select Settings. On the

Settings page, select Device Options, Personalize your Kindle, Advanced Options, then Cover

View Recommendations.
