Welcome · 16 KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 2 nd EDITION
Convert Your Own Documents
In addition to all of the great reading material you can get from the Kindle Store,
Amazon can also convert your own documents so you can read them on Kindle.
You can e-mail Microsoft Word, TXT, RTF, HTML or image files like JPEGs and GIFs
to your dedicated Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the
Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com). We will convert the document into Kindle
format and wirelessly provide it directly to your Kindle via Whispernet for a fee or
back to your computer for free. If you e-mail a PDF to your Kindle DX, it will be sent
to your device with no conversion.

Remember, you can always search on a particular feature or learn more about
how to do a particular task by opening this guide and typing on the keyboard to
activate Search.

you navigate the 5-way controller over one of the underlined words, a hand icon
will appear. Pressing the 5-way will take you to the beginning of the table of contents.
Press the Back button to go back to where you were reading.
