As the amount of content on your device grows, however, you'll want to be able to move around quickly and easily. There are a few ways to get to the home menu on your Kindle depending on the type of Kindle you’re using, and the screen you’re currently on. If you’re on a screen with an X in the upper right corner, you can tap the X to close the current screen. That will return you to the previous screen, which might not be the home menu, so you may need to tap X again or tap Home after that. While the display is larger, the new Paperwhite is only a little bigger and weighs just 23 grams more than the previous Paperwhite (205g vs. 182g).

This will automatically take you back to the home screen, no matter what page you’re currently on. This is especially useful if you accidentally press a button and end up somewhere you don’t want to be.

In general, a long-tap results in a special action, depending on what you’re viewing at the time. A simple tap is the most common gesture you use with the Kindle Paperwhite.
