To do this, head over to your region's variant of the Amazon website (opens in new tab). However, you're able to browse the massive Kindle library on the Amazon website too. Kindles are quite slow devices, they don't need to be fast if all they're doing is emulating a paper book, and this can be frustrating if you're quick with your tech. The money will be deducted from your linked bank account, and the book will be yours to enjoy. If you decide this is the book for you press 'Buy it for '.

This will give you some details on the book including its name and author, the length, a blurb, and the price. When you've found the book you want to read, select it, to go to its title page. If you already know the book you want to buy, there's a search bar in the top-right corner of the Kindle - press this, and just type in the book you want to find.

Here there's also Kindle Unlimited - a subscription service which gives you unlimited reading of over a million books and magazines, though you have to pay extra for it - and Newsstand, a list of magazines you can read. In the top left corner there will be a 'Browse Categories' button - if you select this, a drop-down menu will appear which lets you browse by genre.
