Use Bookmarks
Your Kindle automatically saves your place whenever you stop reading. You can also add bookmarks
throughout your content. Bookmarks are indicated by a half-shaded square in the upper right-hand corner
of the page. Your Kindle allows you to place a bookmark on any text, and you can find the exact place
you marked even if you have since changed text size. Your bookmarks, notes, and highlights are
automatically saved in the My Clippings file that appears on your Kindle Home screen.
To place a bookmark:
Place the cursor at the top of the page you want to bookmark and click the select
wheel. You can also select the Menu option at the bottom of the page and choose
Add Bookmark
from
the menu. A bookmark icon appears in the upper right corner of this page. The icon looks like the corner
of the page has been folded over.
To remove a bookmark:
Place the cursor at the top of the page that contains a bookmark and click the
select wheel. You can also select the Menu option at the bottom of the page and choose
Delete
Bookmark
from the menu. The bookmark icon in the upper right corner disappears.
To view your bookmarks:
Select
Go to Bookmark
from the menu. A list of all your bookmarks appears.
Each bookmark shows a location number, then the first line on the bookmarked page. Select a
bookmarked location to go to that location.
You can also navigate among your bookmarks by placing the cursor next to the progress bar at the
bottom of the page and clicking the select wheel. Small inverted triangles appear over the progress bar to
indicate the location of your bookmarks. You can move through them by using the
Next Page
and
Prev
Page
buttons.
Highlight and Add Notes
You can highlight text or take notes in your Kindle the way you would use a highlighter or pen on paper. A
clipping of the text you highlighted is also automatically placed in your
My Clippings
file.
To highlight one or more lines:
Scroll the cursor to the first line that you want to highlight and press the
select wheel. Select
Add Highlight
. from the menu to mark the beginning of your selection with a
horizontal line. Scroll to the end of the passage you want to highlight and press the select wheel. A box
appears around your passage.
To remove a highlight:
Scroll to any line in the highlighted passage and press the select wheel. Choose
Delete Highlight
and press the select wheel. The box no longer appears around the passage.
To add a note:
Scroll anywhere in your content and press the select wheel. Select
Add Note
from the
menu that appears and use the keyboard to enter your changes. When you have finished, scroll to
Done
and press the select wheel.
To edit or delete a note:
Return to a note and press the select wheel. Then, choose
Edit Note
or
Delete
Note
from the menu to carry out the selected action. When navigating through your reading material,
passages that contain notes are identified by an icon in the right margin depicting text on a page.
To view your highlights and notes:
Select
My Notes & Marks
from the menu to display all marks
you've made in a particular book or other reading material. Each entry shows the location number, then
your highlighted passage, and then your notes. You can turn pages in this file just as you would in a book.
