Reading Kindle Documents

Zooming in on images

You can increase the size of an image in a Kindle book for easier viewing. Press and hold

your finger on the image and then release to display a magnifying glass icon, then tap on the

icon. To return the image to normal size, tap on the image again. For select Kindle books,

you can zoom in further by placing two fingers close together on the centre of the screen

and moving them apart. To zoom out, place two fingers a little apart on the screen and

pinch them together. While zoomed in, drag your finger across the image to move to the

area of interest. To return to reading, tap the X in the top right corner of the image.

Panning over and zooming in on tables

Enhanced viewing is available for tables that are interactive, enabling you to both pan and

zoom. Tap on the table to display the panning and magnifying-glass icons.

To pan, tap the panning icon and then drag your finger across the screen in the direction

you want to pan. You can select text in the table by pressing and holding on the text, then

dragging your finger across the screen to select it. To edit the range of your highlight after

you have selected it, press and hold on the handle at the start or end of the highlight and

drag your finger across the screen to the desired location. Handles only appear when you

have selected two or more words for most device languages. A dialog box will appear with

options to highlight the text, add a note, share, and more. To exit panning mode, tap the

Done button.

To zoom, tap the magnifying glass icon. To zoom in further, place two fingers close together

on the centre of the screen and move them apart. To zoom out, place two fingers a little

apart on the screen and pinch them together. While zoomed in, drag your finger across the

table to move to the area of interest. To return to reading, tap the X in the top right corner

of the table.

Interacting with your documents

Your Kindle gives you access to features that are not available with printed materials, such

as instantly viewing word definitions, easy access to footnotes, and end of book actions. Just

as with a traditional book, you can also highlight favourite passages, add notes and create

bookmarks.

Dictionary

Your Kindle includes one or more dictionaries for each supported language. After you have

registered your Kindle successfully, all of your dictionaries will be available in the

Dictionaries collection either on the Home screen or in the Cloud. The dictionaries

available will differ depending on the language you select.

To change your default dictionary:

1. On the Home screen, tap the Menu button and select Settings.
