Searches
All the content in your Kindle library is indexed for easy searching. Search is more useful than it might seem at first. For example, when you’re reading a novel, you can use search to find references to a particular character. This is especially helpful when you pick up a book that you haven’t read in a while.
Search results include content both on your device and in the cloud.
