Chapter 2
Navigating Your Kindle
Your Kindle Paperwhite features a touchscreen interface that enables you to perform many
tasks with just a tap or swipe of a finger. To select an item, simply tap it. For example, tap a
book cover or title to open the book, or tap the Menu icon on the item's cover to view
available options.

The Kindle Home screen

Your Kindle Home screen is organized into three sections: Recently Accessed Items, My
Reading Lists, and Recommended for You.
Recently Accessed Items: The left side of the Home screen shows your three most recently
accessed items. The percentage on the cover of the book indicates how far you have read. Tap
the My Library link on the Home screen to view more of your library.
My Reading Lists: The right side of the Home screen lists books that you have added to your
Amazon Wish List, Goodreads Want to Read shelf, and book samples that are available in the
Cloud.
Recommended for You: The bottom of the Home screen shows book recommendations,
such as Editors' Picks, and books that your friends on Goodreads have read, are reading, or
want to read.
To access your library, tap My Library in the top left of the Home screen. For information on
managing your library, see Managing your Kindle Library.

Toolbars

EasyReach also lets you tap the top of the screen to display a toolbar. Toolbar options vary
depending on what you are viewing.
