Some Kindle books enable you to zoom in further by placing two fingers close together on the center of the screen and moving them apart. To zoom out, place two fingers slightly apart on the screen and pinch them together. While zoomed, 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. Press and hold the sign to use the maximum brightness setting. Press and hold the sign to use the minimum brightness setting. Your Kindle includes one or more dictionaries for each supported language. After you have successfully registered your Kindle, all of your dictionaries will be available in the Dictionaries collection either on the Home screen or in the Cloud. Available dictionaries will differ depending on the language you select. Your Kindle Home screen is organized into two sections: From Your Library and Book recommendations. Your Reading Lists can be accessed via the menu icon on the top right corner on the Home screen.
If your Kindle Paperwhite shows that it is connected to the internet but you do not have access to the store to buy new books, you can try the following steps: You must have a Wi-Fi connection to use most Goodreads on Kindle features. Note that Goodreads is not available in all countries. You might have a lot of books in your library, so you can tap the three line menu on the right, above the book list, to change the way the books are presented. You can change the sorting, for example, as well as view the books in grid or list form, or arranged by your collections, if you’ve organized them that way. Reset network settings: If the problem persists, you can try resetting the network settings on your Kindle Paperwhite. Go to "Settings">"Wi-Fi & Bluetooth" and tap on "Reset Network Settings". Note that this will remove all saved Wi-Fi networks on your device.Device Name: Use this setting to change the name displayed in the upper left corner of the Home screen. Use the keyboard to type a name for the collection, then tap OK. A list of the items on your Kindle that can be added to a collection displays. If you own the audiobook and the companion Kindle book, they will appear as one item in your library and a pair of headphones will display to the right of the book name when in List View, and on the top right of the cover when in Grid view. When you own both items, deleting the Kindle book will also delete the audiobook. When you tap Flashcards at the bottom of the screen, 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 Exit Flashcards to return to the Vocabulary Builder feature. 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. Tap Want to Read when you find a book that interests you. You can also tap the Shelf icon to mark a book as Read, Currently Reading, or Want to Read.
Display Settings are device specific. Any changes you make to these settings will apply to all books you read on your Kindle. Note that your Kindle also applies kerning, optimizes layout for large fonts, and automatically optimizes line spacing for faster, easier reading across all fonts. Books, magazines, and other materials are delivered directly to your Kindle via its built-in network connectivity. Your Kindle can connect to your home Wi-Fi network or to hotspots located around the world, including libraries, coffee shops, and airports.

For Kindle with Ads devices, you will receive ads that display only on the Home screen or screensaver—not within a book. Note that ads are not available in all countries. Note that if your Kindle is plugged into a low-powered USB port—such as those found on some keyboards and older computers—it will not receive enough power to charge. When reading a book or other content, place two fingers (or a finger and a thumb) on the touchscreen and slide them closer together. This pinch motion decreases the font size. Move your fingers apart — called an unpinch — to increase the font size. You need to move your fingers only a small distance to change the font size. You can add notes and highlights by pressing and holding on text, then dragging your finger across the screen to select it. Restart your Kindle: Sometimes, connection problems can be resolved by restarting the Kindle. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds and then tap "Restart" when prompted to do so.
