• See Details: Connects to the Kindle Store and displays the detail page for the full book. Only appears if you are reading a sample.

Selecting Internal Links

Your reading material may also contain links to other places in the document. For example, in many books the Table of Contents is set up to link to the content pages. These links are easy to spot because they are underlined. When you select a link using the cursor bar and select wheel, kindle takes you to the place indicated. After you have finished looking at what you have linked to, you can press the Back button to return to your previous location.

Your reading material may also contain external links that take you to locations on the Web (if you have your wireless service turned on).
