First, let’s talk about the simplest trick in the book. While you’re reading, just tap the center of your screen to bring up the reading toolbar. See that “Home” icon that looks like a little house? Tap it. Boom—you’re back on your library screen.
Is that too easy? Maybe you want to keep your place but just need a breather. No problem. Tap the top of the screen and hit the bookmark icon (it usually looks like a ribbon). That saves your spot, so you can come back later without hunting for page 347.
What If You’re Stuck in a Sample?
Ah, the dreaded book sample. You’re reading a free excerpt, and it’s… not great. But you don’t want to buy it just to get out of it. Relax. Simply tap the “Back to Library” or “X” button in the corner. It’s like walking out of a movie theater after the first ten minutes. No one’s judging you.
Remember, samples are supposed to entice you, not trap you. If it’s not working, leave. Think of your Kindle like a buffet: you wouldn’t finish a plate of cold eggs just because you picked it up.
