Tap zones
The EasyReach feature of your Kindle lets you effortlessly turn pages in a book or periodical
whilst holding the device with just one hand. Tapping almost anywhere in the display area
will take you to the next page; the area is large enough to be tapped whether you hold the
device with your left or right hand. Tap the left side of the screen to go to the previous page.
The EasyReach tap zones differ depending on whether your Kindle is in portrait or
landscape mode. When reading, you can change the screen orientation by tapping on the
Menu button and selecting Portrait or Landscape Mode. Note that the option displayed
depends on the current orientation of your Kindle.
