Tips for Kindle 2 and DX users
To register or deregister your Kindle:
Note: If you have a Wi-Fi only device, you will need to set up your Wi-Fi connection in order to
register.
If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button.
Press the Menu button and select Turn Wireless On.
Move the 5-way controller down until "Settings" is underlined and press to select.
Press the 5-way controller to select "register" or "deregister" from the Settings screen.
If you're registering Kindle, enter your Amazon.com user name and password (the e-mail
address and password associated with your Amazon account) using the keyboard.
Navigate the 5-way controller to select "OK" to finish the process or "Cancel" to abort.
While reading a book on your Kindle and finding a passage that you would like to highlight, use the 5-
way button by pushing it up until the vertical line is at the beginning of the text to be highlighted. (if the
quote starts near the top of the page, you can press it downward and the cursor will appear from the top
of the screen) Press the 5-way left and right to fine tune the beginning of the passage. Then press the
five-way button in and the cursor will become a forward slash. If the section ends on the next page, you
can simply press the “next page” button. Otherwise use the 5-way button to move the cursor downwards
until you have highlighted the passage. Press the 5-way left and right to fine tune the end of the
passage. The passage will be highlighted in black with white letters. Then press the 5-way button in to
conclude the highlighting and you should see your passage highlighted by being underlined.
You can also use the cursor to find the definition of a word that follows the cursor. This is automatic and
will occur while you are highlighting passages.
Then connect your Kindle to your computer via the USB cable that came with the Kindle. It will charge
your Kindle and connect it as an external drive. On a PC, hold down the windows key and press E to
open Windows Explorer. (It may automatically open a dialogue to ask if you want to do this.) Find the
drive assigned to the Kindle and open Documents Folder. Open My Clippings.txt. There are two
versions, open the text version. There you will find the sections which you have underlined in your
books. You can copy them and paste them into email or whatever.
You may also wait awhile for these highlights to be uploaded to Amazon and then retrieve them on-line.
To do this, go to http://kindle.amazon.com/kindle/list or simply http://kindle.amazon.com
Shift + Sym button to start and to stop Text To Speech (TTS). You have to keep Shift pressed down and
then press Sym. If you move the cursor to a location on the page, the reading will start there. Be
patient, TTS takes about 10 seconds to start.
While TTS is on - Use Spacebar to Pause or Resume it.
While TTS is on - you can switch between male and female voices, and change voice speed by using Alt
+ Aa keys and then using the 5 way controller.
While reading, you can press Menu to see what time it is as shown at the top center of the screen.
While on the Home screen (press Home to get there) press Alt+Shift+M - to start the MineSweeper game.
Press G during MineSweeper to go to GoMogu.
After you sign into Amazon and choose Kindle store to search in, type 'domain free books' (no quotes)
into the search field. This will give you a list of free books offered by Amazon
You can re-charge your Kindle 2 battery at any time, without using up its life. There is no memory and
there is no ‘let it drain completely before charging’ rule.
You should maximize by re-charging your Kindle 2’s LiPo battery when it’s at 20% charge left. The worst
thing you can do is let the battery completely drain out.
