Navigating quickly to a specific page or location on your Kindle book can be challenging. Here’s the simple and quick way to do it:
Navigating to a Specific Page on Kindle Devices
- Open Your Book: Make sure you have opened the book you want to navigate within.
- Reveal the Toolbar: Tap near the top of the screen to bring up the toolbar.
- Access the “Go To” Feature: Tap the “Go To” icon, which may look like three horizontal lines or be labeled as “Go To” next to the “Aa” font icon. Learn more here.
- Choose Navigation Option: Select Page or Location. (Note: Some Kindle books display “location” numbers instead of page numbers. If available, select “Page”).
- Enter the Number: Type the desired page number or location number.
- Confirm: Tap Go or Enter to jump to that page or location.
Navigating to a Specific Page on the Kindle Mobile App (iOS & Android)
- Open the Kindle App and Your Book: Launch the Kindle app on your device and open the book you want to read (learn more tips here).
- Show the Toolbar: Tap the center or top of the screen to display the toolbar.
- Access the “Go To” Feature: Tap the “Go To” icon (often found at the top or bottom of the screen; it may look like a list or a small arrow).
- Select “Page” or “Location”: Choose the option to enter a specific page or location number.
Note: Not all Kindle books support page numbers; you may need to use location numbers instead.
- Input the Number: Enter the page or location number you wish to visit.
- Confirm: Tap Go to jump directly to the entered page or location.
Important Notes & Tips
- Page Numbers vs. Locations: Many Kindle books use “location” numbers instead of page numbers because page numbers can vary by device and font size. Not all books support page navigation; if you do not see the page option, use the location number instead.
- Toolbar Icons: The “Go To” icon may appear as three horizontal lines or a labeled button, depending on your device and app version.
- Quick Scrolling: On some devices and app versions, you can also use a slider at the bottom of the screen for fast navigation.
Knowing how to navigate directly to a specific page or location on your Kindle significantly enhances your reading experience, saving you time and adding convenience whether you’re reading casually or researching meticulously.
