Recent Kindle Convert: X-ray.
You got this function on your Kindle?
Earlier Kindler Enthusiast: What’s
it do?
Recent Kindle Convert: It’s
a reference tool. It lists common characters in a book, or locations, or
themes, or ideas.
Earlier Kindler Enthusiast: Not
on mine.
Recent Kindle Convert: I’ll
show you. The book I’m reading at the moment is Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adachie.
It’s about Nigerians living between the U.S. and Nigeria. The names are
beautiful but not so easy. X-ray can show how often the characters appear which
suggests their importance to the narrative. See? By page and chapter and book.
Earlier Kindler Enthusiast: Nice
tool.
Recent Kindle Convert: Simple,
visual, effective.
