A guy used a Kindle for 4 years before he realized he was using it wrong.
He read 60+ books on it. Highlighted hundreds of passages. Never adjusted a single setting beyond font size.
His sister-in-law a librarian who's read 800+ books on her Kindle sat next to him on a flight and watched him read for 20 minutes.
She finally said: "Can I show you something? You're missing the 9 features that make this thing actually useful. Amazon hides them 4 menus deep. Every Kindle owner I know reads way slower because of it."
She changed 9 settings in 6 minutes.
He finished his next book in half the usual time. Remembered twice as much. Looked up zero words on his phone.
Here's everything she showed him
