Whether it happened to you that suddenly, from where he will take, on your way ...
Load various applications. The reader does not necessarily have to be read only, you can download many of the most different applications there! Call the menu on the main page and select Apps.
- You can download applications of social networks - Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. Actually, if you want to share with the world news about what you read and what you like in these books, then such applications will serve you
- You can also download the Netflix application (if you have an appropriate account) or NBO to watch movies and shows directly from the readers.
- Even the games can be downloaded to the reader! For example, the free versions of Candy Crush Saga, Words with Friends and other games.
- Siteloadding (installation of applications from unknown sources) is a great way to install such applications on your reader that are not available through Amazon. In this case, you need to go to the settings, then more, then Device, and then find the phrase "ALLOW INSTALLATIONS OF APPLICATIONS" or "APPS FROM UNKNOWN SOURCES" and activate this option. After that you can upload applications from third-party applications for Android. To do this, you need to leave the reader to the network, go to the site from which it is assumed to download the application, find the application and click on the "Download" button or similar. Then go to the Amazon application store and download the ES File Explorer application there (it will help you with search for applications from third-party publishers). When it boots, open it and go to the downloads folder. There you will find the application you downloaded. Highlight it, you see with everything and click Install. When the application is set, open it.
Convert PDF files. Alas, Kindle opens.pdf as if the size of the page page strictly coincided with the screen size. In other words, the text can squeeze simply before indefinitely and the dedication. To avoid this, you need to send .pdf file to your reader with the word "convert" in the subject of the letter. Then Kindle converts.pdf to its format.
- However, this is an experimental function that does not always give a qualitative result. Nevertheless, it is better!
- And yes, you can upload yourself to the reader.pdf, as Kindle converted to the native format, and not (and you can read them instead of books).
Solution of problems. Alas, even readers from Amazon can suddenly start working incorrectly. The reasons for such a darkness, and most of them can be corrected only by a specialist. However, before painting and look for the address of the nearest service center, it is worth checking on its own - but, of course, not when the reader is constantly overheated, this kind of problem requires replacement of components.
- If your screen froze or hangs seriously, you hold down and hold the power button for 20 seconds. Then release the button, but 20 seconds again press it. A start screen should be displayed. The reasons for the appearance of the "frozen" screen can be set - from outdated firmware and scored memory until overheating and low battery charge.
- Email does not work? Yes, sometimes. Sometimes it does not turn on at all, sometimes works, but only some short time. In any case, it annoys. The best way to cope with this is to download a third-party application K-9 or Kaiten Mail, or buy an Enhanced Mail application.
- Problems with access to the network can bring to white cation, because if there is no connection, then there is no opportunity to buy a book! In this case, you need to check the connection (the upper right corner of the screen). If the signal is weak, but still it is, then restart the reader. Also check the battery charge level - sometimes it affects the quality of communication.
Amazon reader supports many file formats, among which there are Doc, RTF, TXT, HTML, as well as the most comfortable MOBI and PDF. Completed EPUB and FB2 without prior conversion, unfortunately, Kindle will not be able to read.

Amazon is different from other manufacturers of e-booksby constantly expanding the capabilities of already released models using the new software that improves the Kindle functionality.
It is known that any Kindle model has a Wi-Fi or 3G module. And on new models of readers, they will also be. Users are often wondering why they are needed on the readers? Obviously, viewing sites is very uncomfortable - the screen is slowly updated and blinks, irritating the user. The wireless module is present on the readers at all for this. Approximately half a year ago, all Kindle owners have the ability to wireless boot books on Wi-Fi or 3G using the Send to Kindle utility.
This means that now it is not necessary to connect to a computer to the files. Very few owners of American readers in Russia learned about this opportunity. It is not about sending books to the assigned Kindle e-mail upon registration - this method is more difficult and suited to everyone. The Send to Kindle utility allows you to transfer files to Kindle via Wi-Fi or 3G without connecting the rider to the computer through the cable. This is the fastest way to download books in Kindle today. In addition, no other manufacturer offers anything like that.
We will illustrate the entire algorithm for using data utilities by understandable screenshots to convince you that there is nothing complicated in the wireless download of the book and the articles on Kindle. It is quick and convenient.
As you know, Kindle supports Mobi, TXT and PDF formats. But using this wireless download, you can additionally pour into books in RTF, Doc and DOCX formats, as there is an online converter on Amazon, which converts files of these formats in Mobi. Thus, using wireless download, you get the ability to read books on Kindle already in six formats! A good expansion of the functionality, isn't it?
After installing the utility you can start downloading files. Select File downloads in the desired formats. Highlight them, click the right mouse button. You will see in the context menu opening with the right mouse button, the new "Send to Kindle" item. Boldly click on it. Your computer, of course, must be connected to the Internet. Sending books from a computer may take a few minutes.
To receive sent books, you just need to connect your Kindle to Wi-Fi (and if you have a 3G support reader, just wait for the download). In the main menu of the reader, you will see the books received.
Another important plus wireless download - books sent to Kindle via Send to Kindle are saved on Amazon in your account (section "Your Kindle Library"). You can read books on Kindle and remove them from the reader, but they will still remain in the library in your account. If they need you again, and you just be able to download them back from the account through the "Document Archive" feature in your main menu.
Reading articles from the Internet on Kindle
In addition, Amazon presented a version of the same Send to Kindle utility for Chrome and Firefox browsers, which converts text on the web page to Kyndlowsky Mobi format and sends it to the reader. Moreover, this process occurs throughout the entire pair of minutes. Very soon, Amazon promises to release Send to Kindle for the Safari browser.
