Chapter 7 Settings and Experimental
7.2 Experimental
The Experimental page is a place for you to try out and experiment with some of the
concepts we have under development. We encourage you to send us your feedback to help
us decide how to improve the concepts and whether or not you think we should make them
part of the Kindle device. To open Experimental, follow the steps below.
1. If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button.
2. Press the Menu button.
3. Use the 5-way to navigate down until “Experimental” is underlined and press the 5-way
to select.
4. Select the concept you would like to try.
For more information on the experimental concepts, see “Accessing the Web,” “Background
Audio,” and “Text-to-Speech.”
To give us feedback on items on the Experimental page, send an e-mail to kindle-feedback@
amazon.com (U.S. and other countries) or kindle-feedback@amazon.co.uk (UK customers). We
are really interested in hearing what you have to say, so type as much as you want. Based on
your feedback, we may add or remove content from the Experimental page, so
let your thoughts be known.
