I never knew that was a feature. I’ll have to look. Thanks.
I’m not sure if the Search feature varies with different Paperwhite versions, but if I highlight a word and then select Search, three options are listed: This Book, All Text (which searches all documents in my library), and Kindle Store. It has been very helpful in some instances!

Thank you.
I will take a look.
I typically have a hardcover book and an audio book going at the same time…and an ebook, so I can read in bed at night without having to have the light on 
For me, the Paperwhite’s battery is a huge advantage, especially when I’m traveling. If you turn off the Wifi, you can get a month or more on one charge. It’s also much lighter than an iPad. I don’t read on my iPhone–too small.

I’m always reading more than one book at a time. I have books at home and books at work, physical and digital, fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels. I am new to BookBrowse, and am happy to be able to chat with readers.

Welcome to BookBrowse, Elizabeth!!
I have an old Paperwhite, and it does keep the charge for a long time.
Didn’t know about turning off the Wifi - thanks.
I take mine backpacking for exactly that reason, @Nancy_Read!
Man, it’s a joy to pack along as many books as I want on a trip without worrying about weight!

That certainly is the truth!! We can take hundreds of books that weigh almost nothing. 
Another yes for reading Kindle books on other devices. I use the Kindle reader on the computer, iPad, and phone. Looking up references and footnotes is a breeze. I was intitially wary of reading on the phone, but surprised to learn it was really comfortable. As much as I want to extricate myself from the Amazon giant, I find Kindle a blessing.

I usually read or listen to 3 or 4 books at a time!! I always have a hard copy often classics or older books that I buy from used book stores or ABE books. Then I listen to an audible book while driving or cleaning the house. Then I have a library book on kindle or audio for the more contemporary books. I also have a subscription to Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Deciding what to read depends on my mood or my day. It takes me longer to get through a book but it also gives me time to subconsciously digest the book.

Wow!! That is amazing.
I can only keep track of one book at a time.
I read one book at a time to give it my full attention. It’s sort of like giving my attention to one person during a back and forth conversation.

I can multiple books at a time as long as the books are from different genres but I do listen to audiobooks and read other books at the same time. It just depends on the mood and setting. Listening is audiobooks on a roadtrip or commuting.
