To delete a bookmark, tap the Bookmark button on the reading toolbar, find the bookmark
you want to delete in the list, tap the bookmark to select it, then tap the X next to it.
Bookmarks are added to a file on the Home screen called My Clippings. When Annotations
Backup is set to On, these items are stored in the Cloud for you so they won't be lost.

Footnotes

To quickly preview a footnote without losing your place in the book, tap the footnote. To go
to the selected footnote location, scroll to the bottom of the footnote preview pane and tap
Go to Footnotes. To return to your original location, tap the X on the preview pane. Note
that not all books support the Footnotes feature.

Before You Go...

The Before You Go... dialog appears when you reach the end of a book, or after you swipe
past the final page of a book. It allows you to rate the book using stars.

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, places or topics. Note that X-Ray is not available for all Kindle books, nor
in all countries.
When you're reading a book, press and hold on a character's name or a place mentioned in
the book to view the corresponding X-Ray topic. You can also tap the top of the screen to
display the secondary reading toolbar, then tap the X-Ray button. If X-Ray is not available
for a book, the button will be disabled. 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.

Vocabulary Builder

Words you look up in the dictionary are added to Vocabulary Builder automatically. To view
your word list and quiz yourself with flashcards, tap the Vocabulary Builder item on the
Home screen, or select it from the menu either on the Home screen or whilst reading a
book.
To view your word list, tap Words in the top left of the screen. Tap a specific word to view
its definition and a usage example. To view your words by book, tap the Books link.
Each time you tap the Flashcards option, Vocabulary Builder selects a set of words from the
current list and displays them as Flashcards. To view a word's definition, tap See Definition
in the top left corner of the Flashcard. Tap the Learning link on Vocabulary Builder's main
screen to see how many words you are currently learning and how many you have already
mastered.
