Progress Indicator
At the bottom of every page of your reading material, you can see where you are by
glancing at the progress bar. As you progress further into the content, you will see a
solid bar growing longer to indicate your overall reading progress. The progress bar
shows structural marks within content such as articles, bookmarks, notes, or highlights.
In books, the progress indicator also shows you the overall percentage of the book you
have read and a numeric location of where you are reading, so you can easily find a
particular passage or reference it to your friends. Locations are the digital answer to
page numbers. Changing the text size on Kindle also changes the page numbering, but
with locations, you return to the same place every time regardless of the text size.
Changing the Text Size
You can adjust the size of the text to suit your preference. You have a choice of eight
sizes for reading books, periodicals, and personal documents on Kindle. (You cannot
change the text size on menus, in PDF files, or on Kindle screens, such as the Home
screen or the Kindle Store.)
