5.4 Making Purchases

This section explains various aspects of purchasing items from the Kindle Store.

Trying a Sample Book

Most Kindle books allow you to download a sample before you decide to buy the item.

The end of the sample book has a link to revisit the product detail page for the item or

a “Buy Now” link to purchase the item directly. In addition, while reading a sample, the

Menu shows "Buy this Book Now" so you can purchase the book at any time during

your reading.

Buying Your Selections

All of your Kindle Store purchases use Amazon 1-Click, which allows you to purchase

reading materials with a single selection. To make your purchase, select "Buy" from any

product detail page for the item you want. Your item will be auto-delivered wirelessly

to your Kindle and also added to the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon. You will see

an "items downloaded" message at the top of the screen when your item has arrived

on your Kindle.

Tip: While one or more items are downloading from the Kindle Store to your Kindle,

you can monitor the download progress. From Home, press Menu and select “View

Downloading Items” to display a list of the items that are in the process of downloading

and their download progress. (If this option is dimmed, then downloading is complete

and your items are available in Home.)

Once downloading is complete, items automatically appear in Home. If the download

is not successful, or if it is interrupted, Kindle will attempt to download again without

any action required from you.
