Using Kindle without Wifi Using WhisperSync

First of all, you need to understand that Amazon devices come with some Amazon services pre-installed. They are there so that the device can be used as efficiently as possible and many Kindle owners do not even know they exist.

One such service is called Amazon Whispersync. This service synchronizes the content of your Kindle books across multiple Amazon devices if you are using the same Amazon account on all of them. Some may think that the service is only useful if you own more than one Kindle, but that is not the case. If you do not have wifi access on your Kindle device or just want to save some battery life, Whispersync will allow you to read the same book on another device or computer that does have wifi access.

Do you use a Kindle for your ebooks? Then, no doubt, one of the biggest issues you face if you do not have wifi is when your ebook subscription expires. For example, let’s say you subscribe to a newspaper or magazine on your kindle and want to download another issue or two before your trip. Unfortunately, the Kindle will not allow you to download any more issues because you do not have wifi access. This can be frustrating for many people who are used to using their Kindles whenever they want. One way to avoid this situation is by simply deleting old issues that you no longer need or want.
