1.3 Entering Text

To use the Kindle keyboard, most people find it easiest to place the device flat on a table

and use the tips of their fingers to press the keys.

Lowercase and Uppercase Letters

To enter lowercase letters, press the appropriate letter key. To enter uppercase letters,

hold down the Shift key

, and then press the desired letter key like you do on

your computer keyboard. Alternatively, you can press and release the Shift key

and then press the desired letter. Only the next letter will be capitalized. The Shift

key is located at the bottom left corner of the keyboard.

Numbers, Punctuation, and Symbols

To enter a number, hold down the Alt key

and press the appropriate letter in the

top row of the keyboard to select the desired number. If you need a punctuation mark

or a symbol that is not shown, press the Symbol key

on the bottom row of the

keyboard. You will see a menu of punctuation marks and symbols.
