Searching through Kindle on App vs. Paperwhite

General
1

Side question on the Kindle Paperwhite…one feature the Paperwhite offers that I haven’t found in the Kindle iPhone or iPad Kindle app is the capability to search ALL books in my ebook library.

With the Kindle app, I can search within the ebook but not across all ebooks in my library. Sometimes it is nice - especially between non fiction or historical fiction books - to match up a phrase or term across all book references.

Has anyone else had success in finding this Paperwhite feature in other Kindle related tools?

@Diane_Jones, I think you’re right that that function is limited to an actual Kindle. I can’t seem to do that from the app.

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!
