How do I set kindle on my iPad to display SINGLE page at a time
I purchased a Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32 mb), but the only user manuals I can find are for Kindle Paperwhite. Is this the same manual as one needs for the Signature edition?
The Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition share many features, but they are different models. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has additional features such as more storage and an auto-adjusting front light. While the general Kindle Paperwhite User’s Guide may cover many common functions, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has its own user guide, as indicated in the provided context. Therefore, it is recommended to use the specific manual for the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition to ensure all features are properly covered.
