such as instantly viewing word definitions and searching for specific content. Just as with 
a traditional book, you can also highlight favourite passages, add notes and create 
bookmarks.  

Dictionary

: Your Kindle includes one or more dictionaries for each supported language.

have more than one dictionary, you can change the default dictionary using the menu on 
the Settings page.

word you want defined. To see a longer definition, press the centre button of the 5-way
