What files can Kindle Paperwhite read?
Hi, I just recently bought an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. I was very dissappointed to find out that it didn't include a printed user manual. I was wondering if someone could tell me what kind of files that it can read?

Thank you

This was copied from the Paperwhite description on Amazon's site --I suggest you read the specifications. None of the Kindles come with printed manuals as they are available for download.

Seriously? You were disappointed that an ebook reader didn't include a printed manual?

The manual should be on the Kindle. If it isn't, you can download it from your Kindle's archives.

you have to know how to use it before you can read the book telling you how to use it!

No you don't! That doesn't make any sense. When there's only 1 book on the thing and it's front and center it's not rocket science to read the dang thing! Touch the book and it opens up. Oh look - it's a user manual teaching me how to use it. Yay!

Now if you had to load it on there first, yes I agree, but that's not the case. You don't even have to register the device to be able to read the user guide.

I'm amazed that someone would purchase a reader without first knowing what formats were supported.

You should see a Kindle User's Guide on the device.

Not out of the box. However, if you manage to jailbreak it, you could install KOReader, which supports .djvu files.

Punchy71,

Welcome to the forum. I am sorry you received several condescending posts to your question after making only 3 posts. New users sometimes need a helping hand, and should never be talked down to.

You received some help and I hope all is well. Don't let the bullies drive you away. There is much to learn here.
