++ Kindle for PC ++
NVDA supports reading and navigating books in Amazon Kindle for PC.
This functionality is only available in Kindle books that support "Enhanced Typesetting", which you can check on the details page for the book.

Browse mode is used to read books.
It is enabled automatically when you open a book or focus the book area.
The page will be turned automatically as appropriate when you move the cursor or use the say all command.
%kc:beginInclude
You can manually turn to the next page with the pageDown key and turn to the previous page with the pageUp key.
%kc:endInclude

Single letter navigation is supported for links and graphics, but only within the current page.
Navigating by link also includes footnotes.

+++ Text Selection +++
Kindle allows you to perform various functions on selected text, including obtaining a dictionary definition, adding notes and highlights, copying the text to the clipboard and searching the web.
To do this, first select text as you normally would in browse mode; e.g. by using shift and the cursor keys.
%kc:beginInclude
Once you have selected text, press the applications key or shift+f10 to show the available options for working with the selection.
%kc:endInclude
If you do this with no text selected, options will be shown for the word at the cursor.

+++ User Notes +++
You can add a note regarding a word or passage of text.
To do this, select the relevant text as described above and then choose Add Note.

I assume you mean select the text and then press applications key or shift+f10 right? I.e. choose add note from the menu thingy. I see this as more than "selecting text" though I logically see what you're saying... some won't I feel.


When reading in browse mode, NVDA refers to these notes as comments.

To view, edit or delete a note:

+ Move the cursor to the text containing the note.
+ Access the options for the selection as described above.
+ Choose Edit Note.
