Features of the Kindle Keyboard

 Early Kindle models had physical keyboards, but Amazon's current Kindle models use virtual keyboards on their touch-sensitive screens. In fact, the Oasis is the only current Kindle with physical buttons on its face, and it only has two — one to turn the page forward, the other to turn the page back. There is one button on all Kindle models — the power button.

Without physical buttons, many of the devices' features are hidden while you read. To find the controls, tap at the top of the touch-screen. From there you can go back to your library, change settings such as brightness and font size, and the book's table of contents.

Although Amazon has done away with headphone jacks on its Kindle readers, you can pair them with Bluetooth headphones and speakers. That means if you want to use the Kindles' text-to-speech option or download audiobooks, you'll need to go wireless.

With the loss of the headphone jack, the only open port on Amazon's e-readers is a USB port, which you use to charge the device. You can also use it to hook up to a computer. Although you don't technically require one to use your Kindle, you can use a computer to load books and audio files from other sources and to manage the Kindle's library. The Kindles come with a USB cable and a power adapter.

The original Kindle also came with a protective book cover, which has a padded section that protects the screen and an elastic band that holds it closed. The Kindle Kids Edition is currently the only Kindle that comes with a cover, but Amazon also has a large selection of accessories for the Kindle, including leather covers and adapters for non-U.S. electrical systems.

How Amazon Makes Same-day Delivery Happen

  Imagine the complicated logistics it takes to receive an online order, pull the product, package it, put it on a truck and ship it to the customer, all within a nine-hour time frame. It's a feat that seems nearly impossible, and since Amazon's figured out how to do it, they aren't too keen on divulging their secrets to competitors. That's why they've been very tight-lipped about how exactly they're able to make same-day delivery happen. Here's what we do know.  Amazon  stores its inventory and prepares orders for delivery in massive warehouses known as  fulfillment centers . "Massive" might even be an understatement: The company's Phoenix fulfillment center, for example, employs 1,500 workers and occupies an unbelievable 1.2 million square feet [source:  Wohlsen ]. They are the picture of efficiency: A computer tracks each item as it's delivered, unloaded onto a conveyor belt and shelved. When a customer places an orderl, employees known ...
