I, too, was having no luck getting from the book sample I started reading back to the main menu. However, I just finally discovered the Library item as a flick down action from that menu button, though, so I’m getting somewhere! I have also been wondering if I accidentally attached my Kindle to the .com rather than the .ca. If so, how do I fix that and how do I figure it out?

The Kindle app approaches things somewhat differently than iBOOKs. It can throw beginners off. Fortunately, it's quite consistent and simple. If you're in a book, double-tap to reach what I've come to call the internal book menu. You'll find a number of options which help you change the view or use X ray if a book supports that. Once you find the options, flick left and you'll find a menu button. Double-tap that and the larger main menu will appear. The very first option on is is library which gets you to your list of books. The Kndle approach overall is to minimise space taken by interface lelements and maximise space for the book to be displayed. Very helpful for sighted readers but a source of minor irritation for those of us without sight. Another nifty set of options is exposed by double-tapping and holding after the second tap. You can highlight words and do other things like share passages of text and define words. In the library, you'll find options to switch from books in the cloud to those on your device as well as sorting options if you look in the bottom right corner. Hope that helps you navigate a bit easier. It's a wonderful app once you get used to it and you can save a pile of money taking advantage of Kindle book deals. I hate to see people get discouraged from something I've gained so much pleasure from. Happy reading.
