LOOK DOWN, LOOKUP: The built-in dictionary means you’re only a tap away from the handy definition box that appears at the bottom of the screen. Links in the lower-left corner of that box let you continue the search on either Google, Wikipedia, or, if you want a deep-dive explanation, tap Full Definition for the full scoop from the New Oxford American Dictionary.

BONUS BOOK: Speaking of the New Oxford and its full explanatory powers: don’t forget you’ve got access to it as full-fledged, searchable and browsable dictionary—separate from any ebook you’re reading. Just go to the Kindle app’s home screen and you’ll see it listed. Tap to open, and use the magnifying glass Search icon to look up a word, bookmark favorites, and add notes.
