X-Ray
The X-Ray feature lets you explore the "Bones of the Book" with a single tap, enabling you to
see all of the passages in a book that mention specific ideas, fictional characters, historical
figures, places, topics, and terms. X-Ray also extracts notable clips, people, terms, and images
from a book and presents them in a stack of cards organized on a timeline, enabling you to
quickly skim through the clips and view all of the images in one place.
When you're reading a book, press and hold on a character’s name or a place mentioned in
the book to view the corresponding X-Ray topic. Tap the card to view the full X-Ray topic. You
can also tap the top of the screen to display the secondary reading toolbar, then tap X-Ray. If
X-Ray is not available for a book, the option will not appear. X-Ray will scan your entire book
and a dialog box will display. Tap the timeline to view notable clips in other parts of the book.
Additional excerpts beyond your furthest page read are hidden until you tap to show all
excerpts. Note that X-Ray is not available for all Kindle books or in all countries. Look for X-
Ray Enabled in the Kindle Store description of the book to find out if a book has X-Ray.
Word Wise
Word Wise, available on many popular English-language titles, makes it easier for readers
learning English and kids reading their first chapter books to understand challenging books
more quickly. When Word Wise is on for an enabled title, short and simple definitions
automatically display above difficult words so you can keep reading without the need to look
words up. To learn more or see the various meanings the same word can have in a different
context, tap the word to display a card with definitions, synonyms, and more. Tap Word Wise
in the bottom right corner of the screen and use the slider to adjust the number of hints you
see. To turn on Word Wise, tap the Menu icon and select Word Wise.
You may also see multiple-choice hints for words with more than one possible meaning when
we’re not quite sure which is the right one. For those words, we show you our best guess
above the word. When you tap the hint, all possible meanings of the word display and you can
let us know which one is most helpful in the given sentence. To turn off multiple-choice hints,
tap the Menu icon and select Word Wise, then disable Show Multiple-Choice Hints.
Vocabulary Builder
Words you look up in the dictionary are automatically added to Vocabulary Builder. To view
your word list and quiz yourself with flashcards, select Vocabulary Builder from the menu on
the Home screen or while reading a book.
To view your word list, tap Words in the top left of the screen. Tap a specific word to view its
definition and a usage example. To view your words by book, tap the Books link.
