iPad kindle help

[geniedar]

Hello. I am a new forum member. I am not very computer savvy. I have a kindle app on my iPad 2. I need to know how to purchase kindle books on mt iPad. I no longer physically have a kindle. Is that even possible. Amazon said to put the book on the wish list then buy it through your browser??? I usually use my yahoo account for everything of course on iPad safari is the browser. So how do I purchase something help!!

You purchase books by going to the Amazon Kindle store in the browser (Safari), or on your computer. Buy them there. When buying you have an option (usually) to have them delivered to your device. If you haven't registered the iPad app yet, it won't appear. Not to worry. You can download the book directly from the iPad later.

On the iPad, you need to open the Kindle app and register (sign in) with your Amazon account. It will probably prompt you when you open it, but if it doesn't you can find the option by taping the 'i' icon at the lower right of the screen, then Settings.

Once you are signed in (and have an internet connection) you should see all the Kindle books you've purchased on the Archive page. Tap one to download it and start reading.

To make your life easier in the future, once you've navigated to the Kindle Book store at Amazon.com, tap the box-and-arrow icon just to the left of the URL bar, then choose Add to Home Screen. This will create an icon on your iPad that is a shortcut to the Kindle store. You can put it right next to the Kindle app as a reminder.

If you want to test buying books and loading them on the Kindle app, here's a link to the Kindle store's top 100 bestsellers (updated constantly). The freebies are on the right-hand column:
