the content. You can also swipe through the different cards to view the X-Ray topic (if available),

highlights closest to your current reading location will display first in the list. You can also view notes
by tapping the Menu icon and selecting Notes.

This Book, and change the Popular Highlights setting.

Books is set to Enabled, these items are stored in the Cloud for you so they won't be lost. To manage
the Whispersync for Books setting, tap the Quick Actions icon
on the toolbar, and then tap All
Settings. On the Settings page, tap Device Options, Advanced Options, and then Whispersync for
