Kindle Shortcuts
Shared by Josh BancroftWe here on the Kindle team take for granted all the quick and easy shortcuts we use on our Kindles. As long as you possess opposable thumbs, you're able to do nifty things like read the time, quickly bookmark, or jump ahead to the next song in your audio player. Here are some of the shortcuts we use often.
Some handy Kindle tips. Use sleep mode! Think of it as. Locking the keypad on your cell phone before putting it in your pocket. I never turn my Kindle physically off. And the literary/tips images that get displayed in sleep mode are great!
At any time, you're able to put your Kindle to sleep and wake it up with Alt + aA.
In "Home":
Alt + T = show time
Number keys = jump to corresponding page in the Home Menu
Alphabet keys = jump to corresponding page from alpha-sorted Home Menu
As you're reading your content:
Alt + B = bookmark
Alt + T = spell out time
Alt + Next Page = go forward to next annotation or "chunk" of text
Alt + Prev Page = go back to previous annotation or "chunk" of text
Search (push the Search bar):
@store = store search shortcut
@web = Web search shortcut (Google)
@wiki = Wikipedia search shortcut
@time = show current date and time
Font (aA options)
J = show/hide justification options
Audio Player:
Alt + F = next song
