Understanding Kindle Touch 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 E
Ink. By default, your Kindle features fast, smooth page turns, minimising the number of
flashes. To refresh the page with every page turn, from the Home screen tap the Menu
button and select Settings. Tap Reading Options and use the Page Refresh setting to set
your preference.
Customising your text display
Your Kindle provides a quick way to adjust the appearance of books and periodicals. To
access those settings when reading, tap the top of the screen to bring up the toolbars,
then tap the Text button (Aa). A dialog box will appear that lets you change the font size,
typeface, line spacing and margins of the content on the Kindle screen. The Publisher
Font option is available in select books that include the ability to view the fonts embedded
by the publisher.
Comic books and Manga
Comic and Manga books now come alive with Kindle Panel View. To enter Kindle Panel
View, double-tap the screen. To navigate through the panels, swipe your finger across the
screen or tap the sides of the screen. To exit Kindle Panel View, double-tap the screen
again.
Children's books
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 swiping your finger
across the screen or tapping the sides of the screen. Selected children's books support
Kindle Text Pop-Up and will open in this view automatically. To exit Text Pop-Up and
return to normal reading, double-tap the screen.
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 release to display a magnifying glass icon, then tap on the
icon. To return the image to normal size, tap on the image again.
