Interacting with your content

Your Kindle gives you access to features that are not available with printed materials, such as
instantly viewing word definitions, easy access to footnotes, and end-of-book actions. Just as with a
traditional book, you can also highlight favourite passages, add notes and create bookmarks. Smart
Lookup lets you select a word or multiple words and view a number of options, such as Highlight,
Note, Share and Search. A series of cards display available information, and may include X-Ray,
Wikipedia, dictionary definitions and translation options. To switch between cards, simply swipe from
side to side.
