of nding books by le format, title and topic. This is done by tapping into the Search box, which will open the Search
page. Results will be displayed here when the search term is entered.
In addition, the tool can be used to search the web, by tapping the Web button in the top right corner and entering a
search term. Tapping the Library button will turn the search focus back to your device, where apps and games can
also be searched for in addition to books and documents.
Another search tool can be found on the Kindle Fire. While reading a book, you might want to jump to a particular
chapter or nd a certain word. This can be done in book view by tapping the magnifying glass Search button and
inputting your search term. Note that successful results might take a while to return; the longer and more accurate the
search phrase, the better!
3.6 Removing Books from Your Kindle Fire
Although your Kindle Fire has a lot of space (for storing books, at least) you might decide that a book that you have
purchased from the Kindle Store isn’t suitable or just isn’t very good.
After downloading and reading the title, your only choice is to remove it from the tablet/reader, something that is easy
enough to do.
Open Books and nd the title, using the Search tool if necessary. Once you have found the disappointing book, tap
and hold, selecting Remove from Device. This will then prompt the book to be deleted from your Kindle Fire, although
note that it will remain available in your Amazon Cloud.
3.7 Using the Keyboard
After getting to grips with the gestures and other basics of your Kindle Fire, it’s time to spend some time on that other
important user interface tool – the keyboard!
