I have just received a new Kindle Paperwhite. This book was very helpful to me in learning about how the Paperwhite works. It covers setup, features available on the Paperwhite, as well as additional things you can do to manage your device on Amazon with a web browser. It also has a section on troubleshooting for problems you might encounter. The author provides some helpful recommendations regarding options that you may want to turn on or off.

There were a couple of features I found on my Paperwhite that were not included in the book, but since I'm not likely to need them, it wasn't a big problem. I noticed in a couple of places in the book that there was a spot for a URL to go to for more information, but the URL was missing. There were also a few grammatical errors, but these were minor. Overall, I found this book very helpful in getting started with the Paperwhite. There was some functionality that was not intuitive, and the book let me know what to do. I would recommend the book to anyone new to the Paperwhite.

Another more minor problem has been getting books I've finished reading off my Kindle. The author gives very clear directions on how to accomplish that and as soon as I have some time I will clean up and organize my Kindle.… (lisätietoja)
