Saw the following question on an Amazon Kindle forum today and thought it might be good to post the Q&A here as well. There are also good answers to new customers' questions on a number of common puzzlements in that thread.
Q: I have a kindle but I was wondering if there was a quicker way to go to the beginning of a book you are reading to review names from the previous pages. I have been using the back button but it takes a long time to find what you want to know. With a book you can just turn the pages. This happens frequently when you may not get back to what you are reading for days...
A: [There were several good answers at the forum. The one below was mine (slightly modified for the blog), but you might enjoy reading the other ones on that page too, and you can click on the forum link to see them.]
Update - The answer is for a Kindle 3 as there were several million new owners of these in the last few months. The steps for Kindle-2 and DX are on an earlier, separate page. End of Update
