Read PDF Files

Kindle can display a PDF document without losing the formatting of the original file.

Just drag PDF files over USB to your Kindle or e-mail them to your dedicated Kindle

e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the Manage Your Kindle page

on Amazon). If you e-mail a PDF document to your Kindle’s e-mail address, we will

wirelessly deliver the PDF file directly to your Kindle via Whispernet.

For Kindle models that include 3G, Amazon charges a fee for personal documents

delivered directly to your Kindle via 3G. You can avoid fees for the personal document

service when you e-mail the files to your Kindle. For more information, see "Sending

Your Documents for Conversion" in Chapter 8.

Let Kindle Read to You or Guide You

You can turn on the experimental application, Text-to-Speech, which will read aloud

your books (where allowed by the rights holder), newspapers, blogs, and personal

documents. While reading a book or periodical, press the Text key

, then use the

5-way controller to underline “turn on” for "Text-to-Speech". Press the 5-way to select

"turn on". You can either listen through your Kindle's external speakers or plug in

earphones into the headphone jack. While Text-to-Speech is playing, the screen will

turn the pages automatically so you can follow along while the audio is playing. You

have the choice of hearing your content spoken with a male or female voice and can

also further optimize the listening experience by slowing down or increasing the rate

of speech.
