Images; Tables; Interacting With Your Content - Amazon Kindle Paperwhite User Manual

Images

You can increase the size of an image in a Kindle book for easier viewing. Simply press and
hold your finger on the image and then release to display a magnifying-glass icon. A series of
options will also display, including Highlight, Note, Share, and Search. Tap the Menu icon on
the options bar to view more options, such as Report Content Error. To return the image to
normal size, tap on the image.
For select Kindle books, you can 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.

Tables

Enhanced viewing is available for tables that are interactive, enabling you to both pan and
zoom. Tap on the table to display the panning and magnifying-glass icons.
To pan, tap the panning icon and then drag your finger across the screen in the direction you
want to pan. You can select text in the table by pressing and holding on the text, then dragging
your finger across the screen to select it. To edit the range of your highlight after you have
selected it, press and hold on the handle at the start or end of the highlight and drag your
finger across the screen to the desired location. For most device languages, handles only
appear when you have selected two or more words. A series of options also display, including
Highlight, Note, Share, and Search. Tap the Menu icon on the options bar to view more
options, such as Report Content Error. You can also swipe through the cards to view the X-
Ray topic (if available), dictionary definition, Wikipedia entry, and if applicable an option to
translate the selected word. To exit panning mode, tap the table.
To zoom, tap the magnifying-glass icon. To zoom in further, place two fingers close together
on the center of the screen and move them apart. To zoom out, place two fingers slightly apart
on the screen and pinch them together. While zoomed, drag your finger across the table to
move to the area of interest. To return to reading, tap the X in the top right corner of the table.

Interacting with your content

Your Kindle gives you access to features that are not available with printed materials, such as
instantly viewing word definitions, easy access to footnotes, and end-of-book actions. Just as
with a traditional book, you can also highlight favorite passages, add notes, and create
bookmarks. Smart Lookup enables you to select a word or multiple words and view a number
of options, such as Highlight, Note, Share, and Search. A series of cards display available
information, and may include X-Ray, Wikipedia, dictionary definitions, and translation
options. To switch between cards, simply swipe from side to side.
