Second edition of the 2023 Amazon Best Completely revised and updated。 Suitable for the 12th generation and11th generation Kindle Paperwhite。

Like any new device， the 12th generation kindle paperwhite can be overwhelming， even for seasoned techos。 However， a quick tour will get most people reading their first book in no time。 As with many things in life though， the devil is in the detail。 That's where my 12th Generation Kindle Paperwhite User Guide comes in。

Let me help you unlock the power of your paperwhite to make reading a book a greater joy than you ever imagined it could be。 I start by outlining all the reasons why I love my paperwhite， and I spend the remainder of the book teaching them to you。

I address challenges as simple as finding the on button and finding the charging port。 Then I walk you through the setup process。 Next， using labelled screen-captures （that you can download and print out from the companion website）， I take you on a tour of your paperwhite and show you how to buy your first kindle book and how to read your first kindle book。 Finally， advanced topics like note taking， using the in-built dictionary， the kindle cloud reader， and troubleshooting setup when things go wrong。
