alt z does not work

[mmm2m8r]

on the Kindle, downloaded some pics per instructions. created a pictures folder. went to home page. pressed alt z. nothing happens. pressed alt shift z and nothing happens. pressed harder and nothing happens. the letter z or Z appears in the search bar at bottom but using that does not produce anything but a small list of books. what is happening?

You weren't very clear about where you placed your photos. Here's an example of how you would create the folder structure:

Kindle
-Pictures
--My First Picture Book
---Picture1.jpg
---Picture2.jpg
---Picture3.jpg

Only once you do that, shall you press Alt+Z (NO SHIFT). This should flash the screen, and a "book" called "My First Picture Book" (or what you named that folder) will appear in the list.
