Hi George
It's clever! I have read about Whispernet and kind of wondered if it was
because of the 3G signal that enabled the book to download. On that basis
then, would I need to put in my WiFi key as I had thought it was mandatory
for transferring books?
Thanks for your help, and again for the extremely useful tour.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie,
Yes the A key is where you said. 2nd row down, extreme left.
You book will have arrived by Amazon Whispernet 3G. It will automatically
do this if there is a good phone signal. Hence you don't need to be in a
wireless hotspot, just a mobile phone area where 3G can be received.
George.

Hi Steve and all
Believe it or not, my Kindle Keyboard has today arrived, and I have managed
to follow your quick instructions for turning it on.
Thanks George for the brilliant tour you provided in your Email which helped
me enormously to familiarise myself before powering it up.
I do have a couple of questions though please?
On a standard qwerty keyboard, the caps lock is always to the left of the
letter a. As the home keys on the KK are not marked because of their size,
could someone please tell me if the letter a is to the extreme left on the
third row up from the bottom on the KK? Knowing this will enable me to
hopefully put in my WiFi key which I presume I need to do?
I bought a book on Saturday from the Kindle Store, and when I turned on the
speech, I saw my book was there. Well call me completely stupid, I don't
mind, but how did the book end up on the KK without my WiFi key being put
in?
Thanks for any help, and apologies for appearing to be rather ignorant.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

There is an easy way to start the Kindle menus talking. Once you've powered
it on, hold down the Shift key at the bottom left and tap the Spacebar. You
won't hear anything, but if you let go of the Shift key, wait a second or
two and then press DownArrow, you should hear it.
This method and other information is on the RNIB eBooks web page about the
Kindle keyboard:

opened my Christmas prezzies.
