    Hi. Someone gifted me a Kindle, and as an avid book lover, it sat dusty for quite some time. When our library closed for renovations this year, I dusted it off and have been using it with Libby and Amazon. I never had a tutorial about all the features, so I really appreciated how thorough and simple your instructions are. Thank you for providing this service to newbies like me!

      Are you able to sign up to Libby without paying for Amazon services? I'm hoping to get this for my partner who loves books but doesn't have Amazon Prime, so I don't want to get this for them but force them to sign up.

    Hello! I just have to say, I literally never leave reviews, but I found your guide on how to maximize utilization of a Kindle for a first-time owner so incredibly helpful that I had to leave a comment. Thank you so much for this video, it was incredibly informative, helpful, and just short enough to keep my interest.
    It also somehow magically answered all the questions I had in my mind as soon as my Kindle arrived, which is why I'm so grateful to have found this video, thanks again!

    I've been using, and enjoying, my Kindle for years and I'm still discovering new features. I've only just found out that I can have the time displayed at the top of the screen - handy when I tell myself that I'll stop reading and put the light out at 11pm. Also, the X-ray feature has some potentially useful benefits as it collates information about characters in the story, terms used in the text, clips of text that others have highlighted, and it also collects together all the images from the book if it has any, if it doesn't you'll just get the cover image.

    Second question when reading books I cannot remember the title or author of book - is there any way of EASILY going back (somewhere) and reminding myself of this.
    I wish that the title & author were automatically added on to the bottom of each page - or even each chapter!
