Your Kindle and Amazon.com
In addition to shopping directly from your device, you can acquire the same books, magazines,
newspaper subscriptions, and other content you find on the Kindle Store using a Web browser on
your computer. You can also go to the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com to manage
