Personal Documents
In addition to purchased content, you can read your personal documents on Kindle. If you have
files formatted as text, Microsoft Word, HTML, PDF, or image files like GIF or JPEG, you can
e-mail the files as attachments to your Kindle e-mail address. Amazon will convert the files if
necessary and send them back to your computer for free or wirelessly to your Kindle for a small
fee, whichever you prefer. Currently, the conversion of PDF documents is an experimental
feature. Some complex PDF files might not format correctly on your Kindle. For more
information on transferring, converting, and e-mailing your personal documents, see Chapter 8.
Audiobooks
You can download and enjoy thousands of audiobooks from Audible.com. Due to their large file
size, audiobooks must be downloaded to your PC or Mac over your existing Internet connection
and then transferred to Kindle over USB. Listen to audiobooks through Kindle's speakers or plug
in your headphones for private listening. For more information on transferring and listening to
audiobooks, see Chapter 8.
Background Music
If you like to listen to music while you use your Kindle, use your computer to transfer MP3 files
to the "music" folder on your Kindle. When you select "Play MP3" from the Experimental page,
each of the songs will play in the order they were added to your Kindle.
3.2 Content Formatting on Kindle
When you read a book on Kindle, you will find that the formatting generally follows the printed
version of the book. If the book has a table of contents, it will appear in Kindle. If the book has
chapters, a preface, an illustrated cover, and so forth, these will be displayed.
