I picked up a Kindle Voyage a couple weeks ago and I'm loving it.

But I was a bit surprised to discover a few features that I haven't found documented anywhere; not in the user guide, not anywhere online. So I thought I'd share them for others to use and to see if anyone else has found more that I missed.

Library "Go To"
From the home/library screen when ordering by Title or Author, you can tap the "1/300" (current page/total pages) in the lower right corner to pull up a "Go To" dialog with page number (eg 1 to 300) or "Titles/Authors starting with". I was thrilled to see I could still do that and that it now works with more than one letter.

Quick change "Reading Progress"
While reading a book, you can toggle between "Reading Progress" modes by tapping the lower left corner. This can also be done from menu.

Pinch Zoom / Change Font Size
While reading, you can change font size (and pull up a font-size only dialog you can tap) by pinching in or out. (The user guide doesn't mention it in relation to font size in books.)

This is my first touch screen Kindle, so I apologize if I'm retreading old ground.
