I got my kindle - which I love with a love that surpasses understanding - for xmas but I cant find the booklet that came with it anywhere....

I would like to know how I make the font bigger and how you use the thesaurus function....I am hoping it may get my ds1 to read less reluctantly!!!

Thanks x

The book contains virtually no instructions. The instructions are on the Kindle itself and also in Amazon's Kindle Store in "Kindle Support".
To make the font bigger, press the Aa button (to right of space bar) and you will see all the options.

I too have a new Kindle and would be grateful for some help.

I have a 3G Kindle. However, when I use the internet facility, I always seem to get the message that the page cannot load. This is in spite of having a really strong signal. What am I doing wrong?

Can anyone recommend any really cheap or free good things on Kindle? I've downloaded some pre-1900 things, but am looking for some more modern things.

Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

Press Aa it comes up with a menu to change fonts when you in a book.

The theasurus is either loaded as a book or in the experimental section. I can't quite remember.

Campaspe: You need to select the turn on Wifi option even if you want to use 3g.
