1. Start the Kindle app on your Galaxy Tab.

2. Touch the Kindle Store button.

4. Touch to select a title.

   Free titles have $0.00 listed as their price; otherwise, you see the book’s cost displayed.

You can touch the left or right sides of the screen to flip a page left or right, respectively. You can also swipe the pages left or right.

You can drag the progress meter at the bottom of the screen to skim back and forth through the book. Or, for more precise movement in an eBook, touch the Menu icon button and choose the Go To command.

Long-pressing text selects the text on the screen, similar to selecting any text on the Galaxy Tab. A menu appears atop the screen when you’ve selected text. You can make a note for that chunk of text, highlight it, or search for text elsewhere in the same book or on Wikipedia or Google.
