Toolbars

EasyReach also lets you tap the top of the screen to display a toolbar. Toolbar options vary depending
on what you are viewing. Standard options include:
Home button: This button takes you to the Home screen, where you'll find a list of books and other
content stored on your Kindle.
Back button: Use this button to retrace your steps. For example, you can follow a link from a book, then
tap the Back button to return to your place in the book.
Screen Light: Slide your finger along the scale to adjust the screen brightness. Tap the "+" button to use
a higher light setting, and tap the "-" button to use a lower light setting. Press and hold the "-" button to
turn the light to minimum brightness. Press and hold the "+" button to turn the light to maximum
brightness. You can also tap anywhere on the light scale to select a specific setting.
A secondary toolbar appears when you're reading a book.
Text button: Tap to display font and text options for your Kindle books, including font size, typeface, line
spacing, margins, and publisher font.
Go To button: The options displayed will vary depending on the content you're reading, but may include
Beginning, Page or Location, and chapter titles.
X-Ray button: The X-Ray feature lets you explore the "bones" of the book with a single tap. For example,
you can see all of the passages in a book that mention specific ideas, fictional characters, historical
figures, and places or topics. If X-Ray is not available for a book, the button will be disabled or the Sync
button will display.
