Getting Started
Welcome to your new Kindle. This short guide will familiarise you with all of the features
and functionality of your Kindle. Some Kindle features may not be available based on your
country of residence or location. Please visit www.kindle.com/support for more information
about specific features.
Registering your Kindle
If you bought your Kindle online using your Amazon account, it is already registered to you.
To verify, tap the Home button and look for your Amazon username in the upper left corner
of the Home screen. If it says My Kindle or shows the name of a previous owner instead of
your own Amazon account name, you'll need to register it. See Setting up Your Kindle in
this chapter for instructions on setting up and registering your Kindle.
Kindle controls
You need to learn only a few simple controls to use your Kindle.
Power button: To turn your Kindle on, press the Power button. If you need to turn off your
Kindle screen, press and hold the Power button for 7 seconds until the Power dialog
displays, then select Screen Off.
