Anleitung Zusammenfassung
This guide provides an overview of Kindle and highlights a few basic features so you can start reading as quickly as possible. You can leave this guide at any time by pressing the Home key on the keyboard. To turn to the next page, press and release one of the Next Page buttons on either side of the display. Congratulations! You are reading your first Kindle book. If you haven't done so already, please follow the instructions on the Start Kindling sticker that was attached to your Kindle display and plug in your Kindle to charge the battery. The charge indicator light will illuminate on the bottom edge of your Kindle and a lightning bolt will appear on the battery icon at the bottom of the display. Charging the battery fully should take less than two hours and you can continue reading while it charges. Tip: The charge indicator light will turn off when the battery is fully charged and will come back on after the battery has run down a bit and Kindle "tops off" the charge. If you prefer to read the Kindle User's Guide side-by-side with the device, you can download and print a PDF copy from Amazon.com at: Getting Around You navigate Kindle using the select wheel, the cursor bar, the page turn buttons, the back button, and the keyboard: To choose a particular item such as a menu choice or a line of text in what you are reading, roll the select wheel to move the silver cursor up and down the cursor bar and then press and release the select wheel to make your choice. Try rolling the select wheel now. You can press the Next or Prev Page buttons to move forward or backward in your reading material and press the Back button to retrace your steps on Kindle. The keyboard allows you to type text to search for words or for items in the Kindle Store. The keyboard also allows you to create annotations while reading. All of these are covered in more detail later in this guide. Easy-to-Read Display Kindle uses high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. It works using ink just like books and newspapers, but it displays the ink particles electronically. The page flash you see when you turn the page is part of the ink placement process. The electronic paper display is reflective, which means unlike most displays, it can be read clearly even in bright sunlight. Also, electronic paper does not need power to hold the ink in place which extends your Kindle battery life. Choice of Text Size To optimize your reading experience, Kindle provides a quick way to adjust the size of the reading text among six sizes to fit your preference. If you would like to try it now, simply press the text key , roll the select wheel to move the cursor next to the size you prefer from the menu, and press the select wheel. The text is now shown in the new size. Repeat the same steps to change the text size back or to change it to a different size that is most comfortable for you to read. Look It Up Your Kindle includes The New Oxford American Dictionary. You can easily look up a particular word without leaving the content by rolling the cursor to the line of text that contains the word, pressing the select wheel, and choosing "Lookup" from the menu to see a brief definition of significant words in the highlighted line. Select the particular word you are looking for and the full definition is shown. When you are done, just select "Close" and you are back to reading, right where you left off. Try it now. Take It All with You Although Kindle is about the size of a paperback book, it can store over two hundred digital books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines. You can store hundreds more by inserting an SD memory card into the available slot under the battery cover. Your digital books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines are often referred to collectively as "content" throughout this guide. Also, a copy of all the content you purchase from Amazon is kept in Your Media Library on Amazon.com in case you want to download it again. Your Media Library is an Amazon service that securely stores all of your Kindle books and recent issues of newspapers and magazines on Amazon.com and allows you to retrieve them if you have previously deleted them from your Kindle. To move or delete content on your Kindle, use the "Content Manager" which is selectable on the Home menu. This will show you all of the reading material currently on your Kindle, both in the internal memory and the SD memory card (if you have one inserted), as well as Kindle content in Your Media Library. You can move, delete, or download files easily with a press of the select wheel. Shop Anytime, Anywhere Using the wireless Amazon Whispernet service, Amazon delivers content to your Kindle whenever you want it and to wherever you are using the same technology as a cell phone. When you select "Shop in Kindle Store" from any menu, Kindle connects you to a broad offering of reading material including books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines. You can browse by c...
