screen. If it says My Kindle or shows the name of a previous owner, you will need to

Special Offers & Sponsored Screensavers
For Kindle with Special Offers, you will receive special offers and sponsored screensavers
that only display on Kindle's Home screen or screensaver —not within a book. Note that
Special Offers & Sponsored Screensavers are not available in all countries.
Screensaver
When your device is sleeping, Special Offers and Sponsored Screensavers will be
displayed on your screensaver. To wake your Kindle, press the power button or, to see
more details on the special offer, press and hold the centre of the 5-way controller. Special
Offers & Sponsored Screensavers are updated regularly when your Kindle is connected to
Wi-Fi.
Home Screen
Special offer banners will be displayed at the bottom of the Home screen. To view
additional details, navigate to the banner by moving the 5-way controller down, then press
the 5-way controller to select. All available Special Offers and Sponsored Screensavers
are saved on your Kindle.
To view all available special offers:
1. Press the Home button, then press the Menu button.
2. Navigate to "View Special Offers" by using the Down Arrow key on the 5-way controller,
then use the centre select button of the 5-way controller to select.
3. Navigate to the item you want to view by using the Down Arrow key on the 5-way
controller, then use the 5-way controller to view details.
Note that if you buy a special offer when your Kindle is offline, your order will not be
processed immediately. The purchase will be "queued" and the transaction will be
automatically completed the next time you connect to a network.
