Wireless status indicators

The Amazon Whispernet service wirelessly delivers content to your Kindle whenever and
wherever you want it. Your Kindle can connect to Whispernet via its built-in Wi-Fi capability;
some models also include free 3G wireless connectivity to Whispernet. The more bars on the
Wi-Fi or 3G status indicator that are filled, the stronger the signal.

Your Kindle is connected to Whispernet using Wi-Fi.

Your Kindle is connected to Whispernet using a 3G cellular network. Alternatively, you may

see an icon for an EDGE or GPRS network next to the signal-strength bars. (Applies only to
Kindle 3G.)

The Kindle battery indicator shows the various states of the battery as it discharges. Note that

a weak wireless signal can increase power consumption.
