Introduction
Kindle-in-hand, youâve probably already been doing some reading. In fact, you may be reading this book on your Kindle. You might have even been through the official Kindle Userâs Guide, available as a free download from Amazon through the built-in Kindle bookstore. In spite of all of this, you have a nagging feeling that your Kindle is capable of so much more.
Kindle: the Mini Missing Manual is written to be the manual that should have come in the box. Whether you are a secret Luddite or an unrepentant technophile, youâll not only find information on the basics of using your Kindle, but youâll also learn all kinds of cool things like how to play games, share your favorite books and notes with your friends via Facebook and Twitter, and check your email with the services that work best on your Kindle.
This book assumes you have any version of the Kindle, except for the first-generation model. The bookâs instructions even work for the newest third-generation Kindle. You should also be running the most recent (at this writing) version of the Kindle firmware, version 2.5.
With all that said, feel free to skip the parts you already know and dig in to the parts you donât. Enjoying your Kindle is the most important thing, and hopefully this book will help you do that.
