dragging your finger across the screen to select it. To edit the range of your highlight after
you have selected it, press and hold on the handle at the start or end of the highlight and
drag your finger across the screen to the desired location. Handles only appear when you
have selected two or more words for most device languages. A dialog box will appear with
options to highlight the text, add a note, share, and more. To exit panning mode, tap the
Done button.
To zoom, tap the magnifying glass icon. To zoom in further, place two fingers close together

Interacting with your documents
Your Kindle gives you access to features that are not available with printed materials, such
as instantly viewing word definitions, easy access to footnotes, and end of book actions. Just
as with a traditional book, you can also highlight favourite passages, add notes and create
bookmarks.
