Reading Kindle Documents

When you log in with an existing Goodreads account, your account data will sync with your

Kindle, including your friend list and your Want to Read, Currently Reading, and Read

shelves.

When you create a new account, you will have the opportunity to add Facebook friends and

choose Readers to Follow. If you connect using your Facebook account, any Facebook friends

who are also on Goodreads will be automatically added to your Goodreads friend list. The

more friends and readers you follow, the more book recommendations you will see in your

Updates.

Keep track of what you're reading by adding books to your Goodreads shelves. When setting

up your account, you will be directed to a list of your Amazon book purchases, both digital

and physical. You can rate books you've read from one to five stars. Rating a book adds it to

your Read shelf. You can also tap the Shelf icon to shelve the book as Currently Reading

or Want to Read. Shelved and rated books are publicly visible on your Goodreads profile. You

can always remove a shelved book later by tapping the Shelf icon and selecting Remove

from Shelf.

You can also add a book to your Goodreads shelves from the Home screen of your Kindle.

Press and hold on the book's cover (or name if using list view) and select Add to Goodreads

Shelf. Then from the Select Goodreads Shelf pane, you can shelve the book as Read, Currently

Reading, or Want to Read.

Goodreads on Kindle has three tabs located in the top corner:

Updates: View recent updates from friends and readers you follow, including book reviews

and what they're currently reading. You can like and comment on any review. You can also

rate and shelve books in your Updates feed. Tap on a book cover to read more reviews. Tap

on a reader's name to view their Goodreads profile and more books on their shelves.

My Shelves: View all books on your shelves. You can filter by shelf type (Read, Currently

Reading, and Want to Read), move books to different shelves, and add Amazon books to your

shelves.

Friends: View all readers in your Goodreads network. You can filter by friends, readers you

follow, and readers following you. You can also select Find Readers to Follow to expand your

network. Tap on a reader's name to view their Goodreads profile and books on their shelves.

There is also a profile icon that you can tap to view your Goodreads profile, including your

shelved books, friends, and recent updates.

Goodreads on Kindle tips:

 Tap Want to Read when you find a book that interests you. You can also tap the Shelf icon

to mark a book as Read, Currently Reading, or Want to Read.

 Tap stars to rate a book from one to five stars.

 Tap on a book cover to read reviews, make a 1-Click purchase for select popular titles, and

view details in the Kindle Store.

 Search for your friends, approve friend requests, and view personalized book

recommendations on http://www.goodreads.com.

You must have a Wi-Fi connection to use most Goodreads on Kindle features. Note that

Goodreads is not available in all countries.
