The home-screen in your
Kindle Fire is the starting place for just about every thing you'll do with the Kindle, and features a carousel interface that allows user quick access to their latest content. Items are included within the carousel in chronological order. For instance, if you read a book during the day and a magazine later, the magazine will be located near the top of your carousel. It’s simple to navigate around the carousel by swiping your fingers in either direction - the items revolve in a merry-go-round fashion. Tap any item to open it. Changing the orientation of your Kindle Fire from portrait to landscape view means your items will automatically rotate accordingly. As you switch back and forth between 'portrait mode' and 'landscape mode, your Kindle Fire will automatically rearrange its display so that text and graphics appear right-side-up.
To navigate around in carousel view, tap on any menu item to get to the corresponding section. When you are browsing your library items (books, videos, music), you can switch between using a list viewpoint and a grid view. The grid view presents you with thumbnail images of the handles of your books and publications, whereas the list view reveals smaller thumbnails but more written description.
The Newsstand of your
Kindle Fire serves up your magazine and newspaper subscriptions.
If you would not have any subscriptions yet, you may pick the 'Store' button on the top of the Newsstand interface to visit the Amazon store. When you purchase a magazine, it will automatically download to your Kindle and your Kindle will store the latest seven issues. (If you have a magazine that you’d like to remain on your Kindle following the default storage period, tap and hold the magazine's cover in your library and tick 'Keep' from the popup menu. This will make certain that it is not automatically erased from your Kindle.
After you have collected back issues of more than one publication, issues will be grouped by title, enabling you to easily browse your library of this particular publication.
Along the top of your Kindle screen, just below the search bar, you'll find a menu with links to your Newsstand as well as other popular destinations:
Publications library:.The Books section of your library contains every one of the eBooks you have purchased from Amazon. Once you register your device, the titles and thumbnails are downloaded. The text of your various ebooks is not saved to your Kindle until you actually open the document.
Amazon Kindle Newsstand Newspapers: these can also be reached from the Newsstand menu. You can subscribe to new newspapers by choosing the 'Store' button, just like magazines.
Magazines and newspapers are displayed using either 'Text' or 'Page' views: Text view gives you the text, while Page view shows the magazine's original layout, including illustrations. Page view aims to stay faithful to the magazine in the same way it is rendered on paper. Note that some magazines and newspapers do not can be found in the regular Newsstand format, but are instead provided as apps. If you want to acquire one of those, you have to buy the subscription in the Apps store and down load the app to see the periodical.
