3.6 Sharing Notes and Highlights with Your Social
Network
You can link your Kindle to your social network accounts such as Facebook and Twitter
so that you can share your notes and highlights with others in your social network.
Sharing your notes and highlights is a great way to tell others about the books and
periodicals you're reading.
Before you can share your notes and highlights, you must first link your Kindle to your
social network accounts. See "Linking Your Kindle to Your Social Network Accounts" in
Chapter 7 for more information.
