Reading in the Newsstand
Tap on the Newsstand to open it, and then tap on Cloud or Device to see periodicals on your Fire or in the Cloud. While in the Cloud, tap on a periodical to download it to the Fire. Tap Device to return to device view, and then tap on a periodical to open it.
As with all content on the Fire, recently opened periodicals show up on the Carousel, and can be added to Favorites by long-pressing the icon and selecting “Favorites.”
Most periodicals open to the contents page. You can scroll through the contents by swiping vertically. To open an article, tap it.
While you are reading, move between pages by tapping the left or right side of the screen, or by swiping horizontally.
To return to the contents, tap the top or the bottom of the screen to open up menu and tools bars, and then tap the Contents icon at the bottom of the screen, to the right of the Aa icon. While the toolbars are showing, you can move between articles by tapping the previous and next article icons at the left and right sides of the screen, just above the bottom.
As always, you can return to the Home screen by pressing the Home icon at the lower left.
Reading Periodical Apps
Periodical apps are opened from the Apps library. As with all content on the Fire, recently opened periodicals show up on the Carousel, and can be added to Favorites by long-pressing the icon and selecting “Favorites.”
You can see periodicals in the cloud by tapping Cloud. To read on the Fire, long-press the periodical and select “Download.”
Periodicals that are already downloaded to the Fire appear under “Device”. Tap the icon to start reading.
As an app, periodicals have their own controls and menus. Most periodical apps open to their Home screen, which is not the same as the Fire's Home screen. The periodical Home screen shows the current and back issues of the magazine or newspaper, and lets you archive or view them.
Tap View to open an issue. Tap the screen to see the toolbars, and tap the Contents icon at the top of the screen to go to the contents page. Swipe vertically to scroll through the contents, and then tap to open an article.
For some reason, you turn pages in most article apps by swiping vertically instead of horizontally (as is usual) on the Fire. To skip to the next or previous article, swipe horizontally.
To return to the Fire Home screen, tap the screen, tap periodical Home in the upper left corner, then tap the Home button in the lower left corner.
Turning the Kindle Off
Although it’s not necessary, you may want to turn off your Kindle. After ten minutes of non-use, the e Ink Kindle goes into sleep mode. A screen saver is displayed, and the buttons lock to prevent accidental page turns. To put the Kindle Keyboard or DX into sleep mode manually, slide the power button to the right momentarily. On the Kindle basic, Touch, and Fire, press the power button momentarily.
You may want to do this before closing a cover or putting the Kindle into a sleeve, so that accidental pressure on the cover or sleeve won’t press the buttons.
While in sleep mode, the Kindle continues to access Whispernet to download books and subscriptions you've purchased, if wireless is on and it is connected via Wi-Fi or 3G.
Saving the Kindle Battery
The Kindle uses power only when turning pages and accessing Whispernet. If you won’t be able to charge the Kindle as needed, you can greatly extend the battery life by turning wireless off.
Basic, Keyboard, DX, Touch:
Press the Menu button and select “Turn Wireless Off” from the top of the pop-up menu. Turn wireless back on by pressing Menu and selecting “Turn Wireless On.” While the menu is displayed, the top right corner of the screen indicates the wireless status.
Fire:
Press the Quick Settings icon at the top of the screen,
