Quick Tips: Look up words on a Kindle Video Transcript
>> I'm Tom Merritt from CNET dot com, here's a quick tip for using the dictionary in the Amazon Kindle. Reading comprehension gurus admonish us to never keep reading if we don't understand a word's meaning. Stop, go look it up, and understand the word before you proceed. It's kind of the dental flossing of reading. But the Kindle makes that real easy to follow. Anytime you encounter a hard word like capacious, scroll up until your cursor is next to the line with the word in question then click. Now select look up. A built in dictionary will display definitions for the words from that line. You can also use the same process to add notes and highlights to the book. I'm Tom Merritt for CNET; look for more Kindle quick tips on CNET TV dot com.
