Below is a table that lists Kindle 4 shortcuts. Since the Kindle 4 lacks a physical keyboard, the same shortcuts don’t apply as with the Kindle 3.
Amazon posted a table of Kindle 4 shortcuts over on the Kindle help page. Why they didn’t include it in the user guide is anyone’s guess. I modified the table to make it easier to read, and added some new fields for shortcuts they didn’t include.
If you discover any more shortcuts for the Kindle 4, please add them to the comments section below.
