Thanks for a million Christopher. You solved for me one of my biggest kindle challenges. I have been trying to figure out how to highlight and copy text on kindle for years without luck. Now you solved this problem for me.

To do it, use your roter to select character, word or line and then flick up or down to find some text you want to highlight or copy. Now perform a single finger triple tap. In the resulting dialog, at the bottom, you’ll see two controls. Flicking up or down on the first control will determine the left most text you’re highlighting and flicking up or down on the second control will set your right most edge of your highlighted text. VoiceOver will read the new text that you’re selecting as well as all of the text that’s now selected. It’s a bit tedious but definitely doable. Once you’ve selected the text your interested in, you can copy it or highlight it. Your highlighted text ends up in your notebook for that book, along with whatever notes you’ve taken. You can bring up your notebook for a book by just double tapping inside the book. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Gmail From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Cris Ali Sent: Monday, December 7, 2020 10:04 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Kindle Books On The iPhone? Reading word by word, or line by line, or character by character on kindle is done the usual way by selecting character or word or line on the rotor. What is not available is the ability to mark and copy text. I think Amazon disabled this feature on kindle deliberately.

Hi Joy, I'll say right upfront that I haven't fully climbed the Kindle learning curve but I understand your issues after playing with it just now. I would suggest that you execute the Library button which I believe is second from the left on the Kindle main screen bottomline toolbar. After doing so, you should have a list of books in your Kindle library on the screen. Double tap on the one you want and you might hear something about it downloading if it hasn't been. When the download completes, double tap the book again and do a two finger swipe down to start continuous reading. I don't much care for the screen presentation of Kindle books because accessing the text in order to move by words or to get spelling does not appear to be available. Or as I stated, I don't use it enough to know the tricks of using it. If I had a Kindle book I wanted to read, I expect I'd just get my Echo to read it. Good luck.

No I downloaded it on the iPhone, I don't have a PC. I did try the two finger flick but all that got me was the word image repeated.
