Q: Will the cover for Kindle (2nd Generation) work for Kindle (Latest Generation)?
A: Covers designed specifically for Kindle (2nd Generation) aren't compatible with Kindle (Latest Generation).

A: Kindle can now display Cyrillic (such as Russian), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), and Korean characters in addition to Latin and Greek scripts.
Q: How many colors does Kindle come in?
A: Kindle (Wi-Fi) and Kindle (Free 3G + Wi-Fi) is available in graphite. Kindle (Free 3G + Wi-Fi) is also available in white for shipment to U.S. addresses.
Q: Can i trade in my Kindle or get an Upgrade to the new model?
A: We don't offer a trade-in program. If you ordered a Kindle in the last 30 days, you're welcome to return the Kindle for a refund and order a newer Kindle model.
Q: What is the difference between the $139 and the $189 Kindle?
A: Kindle (Latest Generation) offers two choices in wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi only or Free 3G + Wi-Fi. Both models let you connect to any Wi-Fi network you have access to, such as your home network or free Wi-Fi hotspots. Kindle (Free 3G + Wi-Fi) allows you to connect to our 3G wireless network and download Kindle content anywhere there is coverage. The wireless connectivity is the only difference between the 2 models.
Q: If I upgrade to Kindle 3, can I download and read the kindle books I have already purchased?
A: YES. With our Worry Free Archive, this is not a problem. Books you purchase from the Kindle Store are automatically backed up online in your Kindle library on Amazon. You can re-download books wirelessly for free, anytime, to all of your devices. We even back up your last page read and annotations, so when you re-download your books you can pick up where you left off with all of your notes still in place.
Q: Is the Kindle screen Backlit?
A: Amazon Kindle's electronic-paper display isn't back-lit. Unlike traditional backlit displays, E Ink displays are ideally suited for reading because they do not create the same eyestrain as reading from a computer screen or cell phone. Kindle's display offers the same appearance and readability as printed paper and is readable in direct sunlight with no glare.
Q: When will my Pre-order for Kindle be charged?
A: We won't charge you until your Kindle order enters the shipping process.
Q: Can Kindle display PDF files without conversion?
A: Kindle can display PDF documents without losing the formatting of the original file. With the built-in PDF reader, you can send PDF documents directly to your Kindle to have them available anytime.
