Not all the Kindle games that are for sale at Amazon work on the Kindle Paperwhite. Make sure that you see the name of your Kindle Paperwhite in the Deliver To drop-down list (under the Buy Now button) before making a purchase.

Kindle content, including games, can be returned within seven days for a refund. You can return e-books through Manage Your Kindle at your Amazon account. To return games, however, you must contact customer service directly; you can’t process a return for a game from your Kindle Paperwhite or from your Kindle account at Amazon.

Checking Out Other Online Stores

As we mention earlier in this chapter, you don’t have to purchase e-books from Amazon. E-bookstores are popping up all over the Internet, and with the popularity of the Kindle family of e-readers, most of these stores sell Kindle-compatible content. Publishers may also sell content directly from their websites. Exploring different options allows you to find some hidden gems. Similarly, if you have specific reading preferences — romance or science fiction, for example — specialized stores may have more in-depth selections and greater availability of titles in your genre of interest. The following list is not exhaustive but is a sampling of what can be found at various online booksellers:

General indie (independently-published) e-books: Smashwords (www.smashwords.com)

Romance: All Romance eBooks (www.allromanceebooks.com)

Science fiction, speculative fiction, and paranormal romance: Baen (www.baen.com)

Professional and academic subjects: Taylor & Francis (www.ebookstore.tandf.co.uk/html/index.asp)

Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender fiction: Rainbow eBooks (www.rainbowebooks.com/store/index.php)

Horror and dark fiction: Darkfuse (www.darkfuse.com)

Buying from an e-bookseller

In general, purchasing from an e-bookseller is a fairly straightforward process that involves the following steps:

1. Register for an account with the seller.

The seller usually requires your name, address, e-mail address, and information about preferred form of payment (credit card or PayPal are typical).

Some sites e-mail your Kindle purchases directly to your Kindle Paperwhite. If that’s the case with the seller, enter the information it needs when you register.

You can find your Kindle Paperwhite’s e-mail address in the Manage Your Kindle section of your Amazon account. You can also find it directly from your Kindle Paperwhite. Tap Menu⇒Settings⇒Device Options⇒Personalize Your Kindle. The Send-to-Kindle Email is the third item on the list that appears.

2. Add the e-bookseller to the approved list of senders who can deliver content to your Kindle Paperwhite.

To do this, on your computer:

a. Log in to your account at Amazon, choose the Manage Your Kindle option, and in the column on the left side of the page, click Personal Document Settings.

Your Kindle Approved e-mail list is in the middle of the page.

b. Add the partial e-mail address for the e-bookseller by clicking the Add a New Approved E-mail Address link.

Adding a partial e-mail address, such as @ebookseller.com, authorizes multiple senders from that account to send content to your Kindle Paperwhite.

Make sure to add your own e-mail address(es) to your Kindle Approved e-mail list so that you can send documents to your Kindle Paperwhite.

When you e-mail content to your Kindle Paperwhite, Amazon charges 15 cents per megabyte with a 3G wireless connection but has no charge for content delivered via Wi-Fi.
