Kindle Skills - Pages

Question: Where is the one place on your Kindle you will actually see pages, rather than locations?

Answer: If you have lots of books, even if you are using Collections to organize them, chances are you have a multi page Home Screen. There are two ways to navigate this Home Screen. Use the page forward and back buttons to go one page at a time forward or back or.....

Type a number using the number row on your Kindle 2 or pressing the Sym key and choosing a number. Then press in on the center button of your 5 way controller and you will instantly be transported to the specific page on your Home Screen.

When you have the Home Screen displayed on your Kindle, look at the bottom left of the screen and you will be able to see exactly which page you are on at all times.

special note: The newest Kindle (Kindle 3?) no longer has a number row on the keyboard. You can use either the Sym key to access numbers or hold down the ALT key, then, while holding down the ALT key, press any of the top row of keys for a corresponding number. Play around with it a bit and you will be more comfortable.
