Reading Kindle Documents
Understanding Kindle display technology
Your Kindle uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. The display is
reflective, which means you can read it clearly even in bright sunlight. Electronic paper uses ink just
like books and newspapers, but it displays the ink particles electronically.
On occasion, your screen may seem to flash. This is part of the process of refreshing the e-reader
page display. By default, your Kindle features fast, smooth page turns, minimizing the number of
page refreshes. To refresh the page with every page turn, tap the Quick Actions icon on the
toolbar, then tap All Settings. On the Settings page, tap Reading Options and use the Page Refresh
setting to set your preference. To refresh settings for manga, comics, and picture books, tap the
Menu icon, then tap the Page Refresh On/Off setting.
Customizing your text display
Your Kindle provides a quick way to adjust the appearance of books and periodicals. To access
those settings when reading, tap the top of the screen to bring up the toolbars, then tap the Page
Display icon. The dropdown menu offers different reading personalization settings to customize your
book display. These settings make it easy to customize your book for your reading preference and
situations - such as font, boldness, line spacing and more into a simple choice. You can select the
"Font & Page Settings" option from the dropdown menu to further customize your book's display.
Tap the Font tab to:
• Select from a list of available fonts. The Publisher font option is available on books that
have a font embedded by the publisher.
• Increase or decrease the font size by dragging your finger along the slider or tapping the
plus or minus signs. You can also change the font size while reading by using a pinching
motion.
• Make any font bold and adjust between five levels of bold by dragging your finger along
the slider or tapping the plus or minus signs.
Tap the Page tab to:
• Adjust the spacing between lines.
• Increase or decrease margin size.
• Select portrait or landscape screen orientation for reading.
• Change text alignment. Options include justified and left justified.
Tap the Reading Settings tab to:
• Select your preferred reading progress tracking option.
• Select whether or not to show the clock while reading.
