Reading Kindle Documents

Before you go...

The Before you go... dialog appears when you reach the end of a book, or after you swipe past

the final page of a book. It allows you to rate the book using stars.

X-Ray

The X-Ray feature lets you explore the "bones" of a book with a single tap. For example, you

can see all of the passages in a book that mention specific ideas, fictional characters, historical

figures, places, or topics. Note that X-Ray is not available for all Kindle books, nor in all

countries.

When you're reading a book, press and hold on a character’s name or a place mentioned in

the book to view the corresponding X-Ray topic. You can also tap the top of the screen to

display the secondary reading toolbar, then tap the X-Ray button. If X-Ray is not available for

a book, the button will be disabled. X-Ray scans your entire book for characters, historical

figures, and terms. It can also provide detailed information from Wikipedia and Shelfari,

Amazon's community-powered encyclopedia for book lovers. To find out if a book has X-Ray,

look for X-Ray Enabled in the Kindle Store description of the book.

Vocabulary Builder

Words you look up in the dictionary are automatically added to Vocabulary Builder. To view

your word list and quiz yourself with flashcards, tap the Vocabulary Builder item on the

Home screen, or select it from the menu on the Home screen or while reading a book.

To view your word list, tap Words in the top left of the screen. Tap a specific word to view its

definition and a usage example. To view your words by book, tap the Books link.

Each time you tap the Flashcards option, Vocabulary Builder selects a set of words from the

current list and displays them as Flashcards. To view a word’s definition, tap "See Definition"

in the top left corner of the Flashcard. Tap the Learning link on the Vocabulary Builder main

screen to see how many words you are currently learning and how many you have already

mastered.

To turn Vocabulary Builder off, press and hold on the Vocabulary Builder item on the Home

screen and select Turn Off Vocabulary Builder. You can also turn it off by going to Settings,

Reading Options, and Vocabulary Builder. Note that words you look up are not added to

Vocabulary Builder when it is off. To turn Vocabulary Builder on again, go to Settings, Reading

Options, then Vocabulary Builder.

Kindle FreeTime

Kindle FreeTime lets you create a personalized experience for up to four children, giving you

complete control over what content each child can access. Kids earn achievements that help

them keep track of their personal reading accomplishments.

Kindle FreeTime automatically blocks access to the Kindle Store, the Experimental Web

Browser, Goodreads, and Wikipedia. Children can only read books that you have added to

their library.
