I just turned the Kindle on. I then got to HOME. It shows two items; the Kindle User's Guide, 1st Ed, the New Oxford American Dictionary, and (0) Archived items. Every time I hit the five way scroll button it opens the Users Guide. Once I'm there, the scroll button doesn't scroll. I can hit NEXT PAGE to go through the instructions, but I can't scroll and highlight a section to go to. If I hit home again and try to access the Dictionary, it starts the same process over with the User's Guide.

I did hit the little button Aa that is supposed to let you set the Point Size and make the "print" larger or smaller. I tried to scroll through that too and make the point size larger. Every time I hit the five way scroll button it jumps back to the previous page.

What is the magic trick to the scroll button? The only thing it has done so far is to highlight the User's Guide. I haven't seen it scroll anything yet.
I'm not sure what you mean by "scroll." There is no scroll. The 5-way lets you move between "links" or words (for dictionary look up) on the page. You use the next and previous buttons to change pages.

on the home page with the two items you should be able to toggle up (towards the top of the kindle) or down(towards the bottom of the kindle) on the 5-way (like a joystick) to highlight/underline one or the other of the two books and press in (like literally press the button) to select that item. DON'T PRESS IN ON THE BUTTON/CONTROL when you want to go up or down (or right or left)

The manual is also on line at: http://kindle.s3.amazonaws.com/Kindl...s_Guide_v3.pdf

read it there if you can't read it on your kindle.
