After that, the Kindle will prompt you to pick some of your favorite genres for personalized book suggestions and have you rate 10 books you've already read so it can get an idea of your preferences. Then it will force you to go through a short tutorial, which offers useful information like how to turn pages, bring up the toolbar, adjust the backlighting, and find the dictionary, and X-ray features. It will also ask if you'd like to add a Goodreads account. But don't worry you won't need to type much (if at all) once you register your account and Wi-Fi network.ĭuring the setup process, the Kindle will ask you to connect to Facebook and Twitter, which you can skip using the button at the bottom of the page. Note: If you have an older non-touch Kindle without a keyboard, setup will take a little longer, since you'll need to select each letter using the five-way control pad. The Kindle comes preloaded with a users' manual and a couple of dictionaries, but we bet you want something a little more exciting for your first ebook. Give it a moment it will say 'My Items (0)' for a little while, and then start populating with titles about a minute later.
If you do, and you've purchased Kindle books before, you can begin loading them via the Cloud section on the home page. Follow the on-screen prompts, which will depend on whether you already have an Amazon account. Register Your Kindleĭuring the initial setup, the Kindle will require you to either create a new Amazon account or register an existing one (if it doesn't come automatically loaded with your account info). If you've got a 3G Kindle, feel free skip the Wi-Fi step for now, although you may want to add your network, as it's usually faster than the cellular connection.
Kindle 3G owners can get started right away using the built-in cellular connection. You can also do this from a public hotspot, although once you get home, you'll need to add your home network. If you chose "Set up Wi-Fi Later," go to Menu > Settings > Wi-Fi Networks, scan the list for your home wireless network, choose it, and then enter the password. If you bought a Wi-Fi Kindle, you can connect to a wireless network during the initial setup-it will prompt you. Here's what you need to know to get the most from your new Kindle-without spending a single extra cent. But Amazon doesn't pack a printed manual, and the company's website doesn't necessarily emphasize the simplest way to do things, either. The latest Amazon Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Voyage, and Kindle Oasis are the company's best eReaders yet.
