Reading on your Kindle is like reading a printed book with some added features.
About Page Layout
The layout in a Kindle book is as much like the printed book as possible. Each page has a header
showing the content's title and the author or issue date.
At the bottom of each page, there are battery and wireless status indicators as well as a progress bar and
location numbers. Locations are the digital alternative to page numbers. Page numbers on your Kindle
vary depending on the text size you choose, but locations allow you to return to the same place
regardless of text size.
Change Text Size
You can choose from six different font sizes for content on your Kindle. The text size of menus and other
screens is fixed and cannot be modified.
To change the text size: Press the text-size key in the lower right-hand corner of the keyboard (aA)..
Scroll to the desired text size and press the select wheel.
