Delivering Library Content to a Device

The section of Manage Your Kindle titled "Your Orders" allows you to queue up items in your Kindle Library for delivery to your Kindle for PC application or another registered Kindle device. If the content is eligible for delivery to Kindle for PC, your registered application will appear in the "Deliver to . . ." pull-down menu.

If your PC is connected to the Internet, your book will download and appear on the Home screen the next time you open Kindle for PC.

Managing Your Synchronisation Settings

Whispersync automatically synchronises your bookmarks and your reading location among devices registered to the same Amazon.co.uk account. When you open a Kindle book you are also reading on another Kindle device or application, you are given the choice to go to the furthest page read. This ensures that you can easily pick up where you left off regardless of which device you are using.

Automatic Whispersync is enabled by default, but you can turn of synchronisation if you wish to manage it manually.

To view and change synchronization settings:

1. Visit the Manage your Kindle page.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on the "Manage synchronisation between devices" link.
3. Click the button to turn synchronisation "On" or "Off" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of the synchronisation page.
