basic functionality in kindle

olbeggaols · 04-13-2021, 09:44 AM

Hello,

Can someone please help me with the method of going to a certain page in a pdf document in Kindle Paperwhite?

I tap the top left to bring up various links and see the GO TO icon. I tap that twice it brings up several "Loc 000" choices? the first having a + icon in the top right corner. From there it gets crazy for me. I expect the plus to give me a chance to specify a certain page but see no way to input the page I want.

Also. I went through the customization of the appearance and saved the changes but they are not reflected in the view.

I don’t understand the steps you outline. Why do you tap GO TO twice? You would tap this one time.

When you tap GO TO what you will see depends on whether the PDF has bookmarks or not, and what labels the author (or whatever generated the PDF) used. If it does have them then you’ll see those listed along with associated page number. Otherwise, you can tap ‘Page or Location’ and type in a page number to go to.

Which PaperWhite model do you have? If it is older, the UI may be different.

Hello Tomsem

Thank you for this response which solved the problem. It was the two taps. Still learning the tap dance. Sorry.

I don't know what model it is, but it is brand new.
