Now many of you have had your Amazon Kindle for about a month now which means you should be comfortable with holding and reading on the device. Now that your using the Kindle has become second nature, you want to increase your productivity and get the most out of your Kindle. The best way to do this is to start using shortcuts.

Kindle has many shortcuts and I have listed the ones I am aware of here; I’m sure there are more, if you are aware of any more please leave comment explaining what the shortcut is and what it does. So without further ado, here is a complete Amazon Kindle shortcut list:
