How to create and use reading themes on Kindle Paperwhite

Apply Kindle Paperwhite Theme

You may not realize it, but you can set up reading themes on your Kindle Paperwhite. This lets you select a font style, text size, and page layout, and save it. You can then reuse that theme whenever you like.
