Viewing Reading Progress - Amazon kindle paperwhite Getting Started

Bookmarks: Amazon's Whispersync technology automatically saves your place in whatever content you
are reading. To add a bookmark, select Add Bookmark from the menu or simply tap in the upper right
corner of a page. The top right corner of the page will appear folded down. To delete a bookmark, tap in
the upper right corner again or select Delete Bookmark from the Menu.
X-Ray: The X-Ray feature lets you explore the "bones" of a 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 that interest them. Note that X-Ray is not available for all Kindle books.
When you're reading a book, tap the top of the screen to display the toolbars. The secondary toolbar
contains an X-Ray button. If X-Ray is not available for a book, the button will be disabled or the Sync
button will display. X-Ray scans your entire book for characters, historical figures, and terms. It can also
provide detailed information from Wikipedia and Shelfari, Amazon's community-powered encyclopedia
for book lovers. To find out if a book has X-Ray, look for X-Ray Enabled in the Kindle Store description of
the book. X-Ray is not available in all countries.

Viewing reading progress

Your Kindle Paperwhite includes several metrics that allow you to view your reading progress and
location within a book, including location numbers, time left in chapter, time left in book, percentage of
content read, and actual page numbers. (Not all Kindle books include page numbers.)
Because Kindle books can be read on devices with different screen sizes, locations identify specific
places in a book, just like a page number would for a print book. Location numbers allow you to direct a
friend to the exact same place in a Kindle book you are reading.
The Reading Progress feature uses a unique algorithm to estimate the amount of time it will take you to
complete the chapter or book based on your past and current reading speed. Your specific reading
speed is stored only on your Kindle; it is not stored on Amazon servers. When reading, select Reading
Progress from the menu, then choose a display option. Options include Location in book, Time left in
chapter, and Time left in book.
Many Kindle books also contain page numbers that correspond to the real page numbers in an actual
print book. To view the page number of the book you're reading, tap the top of the screen to display the
toolbars. The current location, page number, total number of pages, and percentage of content read are
displayed at the bottom of the screen. The reading time left will also display at the bottom of the screen.
On the Home screen, dots below the book title indicate how long the book is, with bold dots showing
how far you have read.
