Magazines

The Kindle Store offers an expanding selection of magazines to meet every interest. As

with newspapers, all periodical subscriptions are delivered wirelessly and start with a

free trial.

Blogs

The Kindle Store offers thousands of Kindle blogs, including up-to-the-minute news

feeds and topical blogs. Blog categories include business, technology, sports, politics,

culture, entertainment, humor, and science. Kindle blogs are sent to you wirelessly

throughout the day, allowing you to keep current. Unlike traditional feeds, which often

only provide headlines, Kindle downloads the complete feed onto the device so you

can read them even when you are not wirelessly connected. All blog subscriptions are

delivered wirelessly and start with a free trial.

Personal Documents

In addition to purchased content, you can read your personal documents on Kindle.

Kindle DX can display a PDF document without losing the formatting of the original file.

You can either drag PDF files over USB to your device or e-mail them to your dedicated

Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the Manage Your Kindle

page on Amazon). You can rotate your device sideways for widescreen viewing. For

more information on the unique aspects of reading PDF files on Kindle, see "Reading

PDF Files".

If you have PDF files, or files formatted as text, Microsoft Word, HTML, or image files

like GIF or JPEG, you can e-mail the files as attachments to your Kindle e-mail address.

Amazon will convert the files if necessary and send them back to your computer for free

or via Whispernet to your Kindle for a fee. For more information on transferring,

converting, and e-mailing your personal documents, see Chapter 8.

For details on fees, see the "Your individual charges" section of the Manage Your Kindle

page on Amazon.
