To select a highlight or note and view the marked section in your reading, scroll to the desired item and
press the select wheel. If you want to return to the location where you were reading before activating the
My Notes & Marks view, press the
Back
button.
Save Clippings
Your Kindle also lets you take a "clipping" of the page you are currently viewing much in the same way
you would cut an article out of a newspaper. Your clippings, bookmarks, and notes are saved in your
My
Clippings
file.
Clipping Limits
When highlighting books, a clipping of the highlighted section is automatically placed in your
My
Clippings
file. On most books, you can clip up to 10% of the total text in the title. If you reach the clipping
limit, although your highlights continue to be marked in the book itself, the highlighted sections will no
longer be added to your My
Clippings
file.
To take a clipping:
Navigate to the page in your reading that you want to clip. Select
Save Page as
Clipping
from the menu. If you only want to save part of a page, simply highlight that part.
To view your clippings:
To view a clipping inside your reading, select
My Notes & Marks
from the
menu. If you want to return to the location where you were reading before activating the My Notes &
Marks view, simply press the
Back
button. You can also view your clippings from the Home screen
without needing to locate the item from which the clipping was taken. Navigate to the Home screen and
open the
My Clippings
file. This file displays the clippings as well as the title and location of the passage
from which the clipping was taken.
More About Notes and My Clippings
The
My Clippings
file contains all of the bookmarks, highlights, notes, and clippings you have made
while reading. The contents of the file are available to read later or to copy to your computer if you want
to edit or send them to someone else. The file is stored as a TXT file so you can import it into one of your
computer applications.
All of your notes are also automatically backed up on Amazon servers in case you lose or break your
Kindle. When you re-download a title that you previously added notes to, your notes and last location
read download with it. Your My Clippings file is not stored on Your Media Library.
To delete your My Clippings file:
Navigate to the Content Manager from the Home screen menu.
Locate the
My Clippings
file and select it with the cursor. Then choose
Remove Selected Items
from
the menu. On the next screen, confirm that you want to delete the entire file. Deleting the My Clippings
file does not remove any notes, bookmarks, or highlights you've made.
