I usually have oodles of problems with new technology, but I only have two things I haven't figured out about my new Kindle.

1.  How do you delete a letter after you've entered it (a typo)? For example, if I'm tying to type cat and I accidently write car, I can't figure out how to delete the r.

2.  Once you are searching for a type of book with your Kindle, how do you get it to show you the books in order by lowest cost first? I can do it on my computer, but not my Kindle. Thanks!

1. Use the delete key on the keyboard. It says Del on it.

2. I had to read this question a couple of times before I understood that you are searching for a book in the Kindle store.... I don't have an answer for that, I never use that feature on the Kindle.

Question 2.  Sorry, there is no further "sort" when shopping from the Kindle in the Kindle Store.  I think it is a pain to shop from my Kindle unless I have a specific book or author to search.

A book, I think, is very like a little golden door.
That takes me into places where I've never been before.
It leads me into fairyland or countries strange and far.
And, best of all, the golden door always stands ajar. - Adelaide Love

I never shop from my Kindle either, unless I have a specific book or author in mind. One thing that I do frequently is shop on Amazon from my computer, and order samples of books that I think I might like. The samples are free. Then, when away from the computer, I can review the samples, and after each one, you're given the opportunity to purchase the book if you want. (I may have strayed a bit from your question, sorry!)

It would be nice if there were more sort option when shopping directly on the Kindle.

I agree with the other posters.  It is much easier to shop online and send the samples.
