Kindles have useful features that you may want to take advantage of. Long press a word or phrase to see it definition, highlightor take it notes. You can also search the entire book for that particular word or phrase or translate it to or from other languages.
Word Wise show short definitions in small text in the lines. Unfortunately, it’s not available for all books, but when it is, you can turn it on or off and choose more and less suggestions. Clicking the short definition opens a longer one from Word Wise and the New Oxford American Dictionary or Oxford Dictionary of English (you can switch between the two), more translations, and a Wikipedia page, if applicable.
While reading, tap the top of the screen and click “Aa” to switch font size or type– There is also a font called OpenDyslexic that helps make reading easier for people with dyslexia. You can also control the size of the margins and line spacing from that menu.
When a Kindle is connected to a Bluetooth speaker or headset, VoiceView screen reader (access through Settings > Accessibility) allows you to use gestures to navigate your device and read aloud what you pressed. It will also read a book out loud, although it doesn’t sound as good as an audiobook.
Amazon owns it Goodreadsso it syncs perfectly to Kindles (press the button less than three points > Goodreads). If you have a Goodreads account, you can review Kindle books you’ve read or discover your library and recommendations. Long pressing a word or phrase, in addition to what is mentioned above, opens an option to share quotes directly to Goodreads.
There is one web browser even if you are connected to the Internet (three point menu > Web browser). It’s not the best, so I reserve it for emergency searches.
