Look It Up

Your Kindle includes a built-in dictionary, The New Oxford American Dictionary. You

can easily look up a particular word without leaving the content. Simply use the 5-way

controller to navigate the cursor in front of the word you want defined. A definition of

the word appears at the bottomof the screen. To view the full definition, press the

Return key

on the keyboard. To return to the text you were reading, press the

Back button. To choose a different dictionary, see "Choosing Your Primary Dictionary"

in Chapter 7.

Take It All with You

Kindle DX can store over 3600 digital books, personal documents, newspapers, blogs,

magazines, and audiobooks, which are referred to collectively as "content" throughout

this guide. A copy of all your books and recent issues of newspapers and magazines

purchased from the Kindle Store are kept on Amazon.

To display the list of content on your Kindle, press the Home button. Use the 5-way

controller to underline the item you want to open and then press the 5-way to open the

item. To delete content on your Kindle, use the 5-way controller to underline the item

you want to delete. Move the 5-way to the left to select “remove from device” and then

press the 5-way to complete the removal of the item.

To transfer previously deleted content from Amazon back to your Kindle, the wireless

Whispernet service must be on. From Home, select "Archived Items." This shows all of

the content stored at Amazon. Underline the item you want to move back to your Kindle

and move the 5-way to the right and then press the 5-way to start the transfer. In under

a minute, the item re-downloads into your Kindle and appears in the list of content in

Home.
