Chapter 3 Reading Kindle Documents
Highlights, notes, and bookmarks are added to a file on the Home screen called My Clippings.
You can also manage them by selecting View Notes & Marks from the menu. These items are
archived for you at Amazon so they wont be lost.
Text-to-Speech
Your Kindle can read aloud your books (where allowed by the rights holder), newspapers,
magazines, blogs, and personal documents using Text-to-Speech.
To turn on Text-to-Speech, tap Menu from within the content, then tap Turn On Text-to-
Speech. While Text-to-Speech is playing, Kindle will turn the pages automatically so you can
follow along in the text. You can choose to hear your content spoken with a male or female
voice, and you can further optimize your listening experience by slowing down or increasing
the rate of speech. You can either listen through your Kindles speakers or plug earphones
into the headphone jack.
Viewing page numbers and progress
Because Kindle books can be read on devices with different screen sizes, locations identify
specific places in a book, just like a page number would for a print book. Location numbers
allow you to direct a friend to the exact same place in a Kindle book you are reading, and are
always displayed.
Many Kindle books also contain page numbers that correspond to the real page numbers in
an actual print book. To view the page number of the book you’re reading, tap the top of the
screen to display the toolbars. The current location, page number, total number of pages, and
percentage of content read are displayed below the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. (Not
all Kindle books include page numbers.)
On the Home screen, dots below the book title indicate how long the book is, with bold dots
showing how far you have read.
When you’re finished reading
Your Kindle will automatically go into sleep mode after a few minutes of inactivity. You can
further conserve battery life by turning off the wireless connection when you arent using it.
When your Kindle is asleep, you’ll see an image on the screen; this static screensaver uses
no battery power. To wake up your Kindle, press the power button.
If you need to turn off the Kindle completely, such as when traveling on an airplane, press
and hold the power button until the screen goes blank, then release the button.
