The following information was extracted from http://www.ehow.com/way_5717599_instructions-kindle.html#ixzz1BKBeE0rp which gives more detail in the use of the Kindle.

To turn on Kindle, slide the power switch on the bottom right corner of the device. The Home screen (press the “Home” key) lists all of the current books, newspaper and blog subscriptions installed.

Use the five-way toggle button on the bottom right to scroll through items and select what you want to read. Press the five-way toggle button to open and begin reading. Use the Next Page > and Previous Page < buttons to navigate.

Holding and sliding the power switch for several seconds will turn off the Kindle.

Change the font size by pressing the "Aa" button next to the space bar on the right side of the keypad. This will display the available font sizes, which you can change by using the five-way toggle button.

The "Aa" button will also allow you to turn on the Text-to-Speech feature, which will read to you starting where your cursor is on the page.  Choose from male and female voices, which can be sped up or slowed. Turn off Text-to-Speech by clicking the Menu button and selecting Stop Text-to-Speech.

To see the definition of a word, put the cursor in front of the word to display the definition on the bottom of the screen.
