Tap zones

The EasyReach feature of your Kindle lets you effortlessly turn pages in a book or periodical

device with your left or right hand. Tap the left side of the screen to go to the previous page.
The EasyReach tap zones differ depending on whether your Kindle is in portrait or

Menu button and selecting Portrait or Landscape Mode. Note that the option displayed
depends on the current orientation of your Kindle.
