Subject: Ipod kindle app question
I just can't get the hang of this touch screen stuff. I put the kindle ap
on my Ipod, and have a few questions. How to I go to the next page in
list of books? Once in a book, how do I get back to the list? If I'm
doing continious reading, how do I stop that? Thanks.
Only reason I'm messing with this is there are some books that don't hve
text to speech enabled and I gather these will still read on the Ipod.
