CHAPTER 5

The Kindle Store

The Kindle Store is the place to purchase titles such as Kindle books, audiobooks,

newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Find an item in the store, select "Buy," and you will

typically receive your item wirelessly in under a minute. All of your Kindle purchases

use Amazon 1-Click for easy purchasing and Amazon automatically backs up all of your

purchases and the most recent issues of your periodicals in case you lose your Kindle

or want to download a title again. To help other Amazon users decide what to buy, you

can also add your own ratings and reviews.

5.1 Getting Started at the Store

This section tells you how to connect to the Kindle Store on your Kindle, and provides

some ideas about the best ways to look for content once you are connected.

Connecting to the Kindle Store

You connect to the Kindle Store using your device's built-in Whispernet service. To go

to the Kindle Store, follow these steps:

1. If Whispernet is not already on, press the Menu button, use the 5-way controller to

underline "Turn Wireless On", and then press the 5-way controller to turn on

Whispernet.

2. Press the Menu button and use the 5-w

ay controller to underline "Shop in Kindle

Store."

3. Press the 5-way controller to select "Shop in Kindle Store."

You will see this icon in the upper left corner of the page, if you are not already

connected. The Kindle Storefront will appear as shown later in this chapter and serves

as a launch point for all of the Kindle Store services.
