X-Ray and Wikipedia so you can access definitions, characters, settings
and more without leaving your page or losing your place. Show me
Go Deeper with X-Ray
Exclusive on Kindle: explore the
"bones" of the book. See all the passages across a book that mention
relevant ideas, fictional characters, historical figures, places or
topics of interest. Simply press and hold the name to zoom in on a
character's biography. Show me
Enhance Your Vocabulary
NEW – Words looked up in
the dictionary are automatically added to Vocabulary Builder to expand
your knowledge and reinforce retention. Swipe through your vocabulary
words, quiz yourself with flashcards and instantly see those words in
context. Show me

more with FreeTime for Kindle Paperwhite. FreeTime lets you create
personalised profiles for kids and give them access to titles from your

keep track of their personal reading accomplishments. A progress report
keeps parents updated on total time spent reading, number of words
looked up, badges earned and books read.

Read in the Dark
IMPROVED –
Paperwhite guides light towards the surface of the display with its
next generation front light – unlike back-lit tablets that shine in your
eyes – so you can read comfortably without straining your eyes. Adjust
your screen's brightness for great reading in any light.
