New Kindle Paperwhite + Furigana Support - fishhead - 2012-10-27 Hi, Amazon has just released the Kindle Paperwhite in a Japanese edition. I was just wondering if anyone knows how furigana works on it. Can you turn it on and off for any book, or does it show up automatically?

Furigana appears next to the kanji, just like any Japanese novel.

New Kindle Paperwhite + Furigana Support - totsubo - 2012-12-08 IN case this is of interest, I couldn't find any suitable Japanese/English dictionary to use with my new Japanese Kindle Paperwhite so I went and created one myself and published it on Amazon.
