Optimizing Web Browser for Reading Articles

While viewing articles on a web page, you can switch to Article Mode to make the text on
the page easier to read. Article Mode makes reading articles more enjoyable by allowing you
to focus on the main text on the page.
To switch to Article Mode, follow these steps:
1. While viewing articles on a web page, press Menu.
2. Choose "Article Mode. " The view switches to display the main article (including the article's
text and images) on the page.
3. Use the Next Page and Previous Page buttons to scroll up or down on the page.
4. To return to the standard Web Browser view, press Menu and choose "Web Mode. "

Using History

You can easily return to websites you recently viewed by pressing the Menu button and
selecting "History. " You will then see a list of recently visited websites to select from. You can
add a site to your Bookmarks by using the 5-way to navigate to the right and choosing "add
to bookmarks. "

The Web Browser Menu

The Web Browser menu contains other items you can select, many of which also appear in
the browser's navigation bar. To view the menu, press the Menu button when Web Browser
is on the screen.
Turn Wireless Off — turns the Whispernet connection off. If you turn the wireless off, you
will not be able to use the browser.
Shop in Kindle Store — takes you to the Kindle Storefront.
Enter URL — takes you directly to the URL field where you can enter a web address to visit.
Zoom In — magnifies the web page view. Choose this menu item again (up to three times)
to magnify the view up to three times the normal size. Once you are zoomed in, you can use
the 5-way to pan left, right, up, and down to see different parts of the page. You can also use
the Next Page and Previous Page buttons to pan up or down while zoomed in. The black bars
on the right side and bottom of the page indicates which portion of the overall page you are
viewing.
