CHAPTER 9
Your Kindle and Amazon.com
In addition to shopping directly from your device, you can acquire the same books, magazines,
newspaper subscriptions and other content you find on the Kindle Store using a Web browser on your
computer. You can also go to the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com to manage your Kindle
account, change or cancel a subscription, or look up a past Kindle order. If you need help, Kindle
Support on Amazon.com gives you information, e-mail, and phone access to dedicated customer
service representatives.
9.1 Shopping for Kindle Content on Amazon.com
This section shows you how to purchase content for your Kindle on Amazon.com. As with purchases
on the Kindle Store, Kindle content is auto-delivered wirelessly to your Kindle for no additional
charge.
Browsing the Kindle Store
When browsing the Kindle Store on Amazon.com, you use categories and sub-categories to find
content that suits your interests. Each page shows listings of content relevant to the categories or sub
categories you have navigated to and clicked on. Once inside a category, you can further refine your
browse by topic. Each page shows the path taken so you can easily retrace your steps.
Searching the Kindle Store
When searching the Kindle Store on Amazon.com, you use the Amazon.com search engine to find
relevant Kindle content associated with the keyword or phrase that you type into the search box. The
search engine finds and displays lists of content along with descriptive images, titles, authors and
price information. You can narrow results by categories by clicking in the browse links to the left of
the search results. You can also go back to remove your keyword and try another search.
Getting the Details
The product detail page for Kindle content provides the most pertinent information to help you make
a purchase decision. In addition to cover image, title, author and pricing information, the product
detail page gives you insight into the content from other readers. For example, you can read customer
reviews and check out "Customers who bought this also bought" to find out what other customers
have enjoyed. From the product detail page you can purchase Kindle books, newspapers, blogs and
other periodicals with Amazon.com 1-Click.
Ordering Content
Ordering content from the product detail page is as easy as the click of a button. Similar to ordering
directly from your Kindle, you can place orders from detail pages on Amazon.com and receive your
content in under a minute. Once you make a selection, your order is auto-delivered wirelessly to your
Kindle. You do not need to use your computer to download your content. If you have more than one
Kindle, you can use the "Buy Box" to choose which Kindle should receive your order.
