Viewing locations, page numbers, and progress

Because Kindle books can be read on devices with different screen sizes, locations identify
specific places in a book, just like a page number would for a print book. Location numbers
allow you to direct a friend to the exact same place in a Kindle book you are reading, and are
always displayed.
Many Kindle books also contain page numbers that correspond to the real page numbers in
an actual print book. To view the page number of the book you're reading press the Menu
button. The current location, page number, total number of pages, and percentage of content
read will be displayed above the progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Note that not
all Kindle books include page numbers. On the Home screen, dots below the book title
indicate how long the book is, with bold dots showing how far you have read. In a book with
chapters, the tick marks in the progress bar indicate the start of each chapter.

When you're finished reading

Your Kindle will automatically go into sleep mode after a few minutes of inactivity. When your
Kindle is asleep, you'll see an image on the screen; this static screensaver uses no battery
power. To wake your Kindle up, press the power button.
If you need to turn off the Kindle completely, press and hold the power button for several
seconds until the screen goes blank, and then release the button. When the Kindle is turned
off, the screen will be blank.
