Chapter 3 Reading Kindle Documents

Understanding Kindle display technology

Your Kindle uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic ink (E Ink). The display

is reflective, which means you can read it clearly even in bright sunlight. E ink uses ink just

like books and newspapers, but it displays the ink particles electronically.

A “flash” may appear when you turn pages. This is part of the process of updating the

electronic ink. By default, Kindle features faster, smoother page turns, minimizing the number

of flashes. To refresh the page with every page turn, from the Home screen press the Menu

button, and then select Settings. You can page through the Setting’s pages using the Next

Page

buttons located at the sides of the screens. Use the Page Refresh setting to set

your preference.

Customizing your text display

Your Kindle provides a quick way to adjust the appearance of books and periodicals. To access

those settings, press the Menu button when you’re reading a document and select Change

Font Size. A dialog box will appear that lets you change the font size, typeface, line spacing,

number of words per line, and orientation of the content on the Kindle screen. To view a book

with the fonts embedded by the publisher, turn on Publisher Font. Selecting this option will

disable Typeface controls.

Comics and children’s books

Comics come alive with Kindle Panel View. Press the Next Page or Previous Page

buttons to navigate through the panels for an immersive reading experience. Select comics

support Kindle Panel View and will automatically open in this view. To exit Kindle Panel View,

press the Back button.

Children’s books on your Kindle now feature Kindle Text Pop-Up to enhance the reading

experience. You can navigate between Text Pop-Up sections by pressing the Next Page

or Previous Page

buttons. Select children’s books support Kindle Text Pop-Up and will

automatically open in this view. To exit Text Pop-Up and return to normal reading, press the

Back button.

Zooming images

You can increase the size of an image in a Kindle book for easier viewing. First, use the 5-way

controller to position the cursor over the image. A magnifying glass with a plus sign will

appear on top of the image. Press the 5-way controller center select button to zoom in and fit

the image to the screen. To return to your content, press the Back button or the Next Page

or Previous Page

buttons. You can also use zoom on any web page.

Enhanced viewing of images is available for select Kindle books, enabling you to both pan

and zoom. First, use the 5-way controller to position the cursor over the image. A magnifying

glass with a plus sign will appear on top of the image. Press the 5-way controller to fit the

image to the screen. Press the 5-way controller center select button again to view zooming

options, including fit-to-screen, 150%, 200%, 300%, and actual size. You can also access
