To add a note, highlight a single word, multiple words, or a sentence, then tap Note. Additional
options include highlighting the selected text, sharing with friends on Goodreads and other social
networks, and searching the book, all text, or the Kindle Store. Tap the Menu icon on the options bar
to view more options, including opening the dictionary and reporting an error with the content. You
can also swipe through the different cards to view the X-Ray topic (if available), dictionary definition,
Wikipedia entry, and an option to translate the selected word.
Notes will appear as superscripted numbers within the text. To view a note the next time you visit
that page, simply tap on the number. You can view all of your notes and highlights by tapping the
Go To option on the secondary toolbar when reading and tapping the Notes tab. The notes and
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.
If several other Kindle users have highlighted a particular passage in the book you are reading, you
will see that passage underlined. To turn off these highlights, tap the Quick Actions icon on the
toolbar, then tap All Settings. On the Settings page, tap Reading Options, Highlights & About This
Book, and change the Popular Highlights setting.
Notes and highlights are added to a file in your library called Your Clippings. When Whispersync
for 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, then
tap All Settings. On the Settings page, tap Device Options, Advanced Options, then Whispersync for
Books.
Bookmarks
Amazon's Whispersync technology automatically saves your place in whatever content you are
reading. To bookmark a page, tap the Bookmark icon on the reading toolbar and tap the plus sign
next to the location or page information. You can also add a bookmark by tapping the top right
corner of the screen. A black bookmark will appear in the top right corner of the page and the
location and chapter will be displayed. The Bookmark icon on the toolbar changes from white to
black on bookmarked pages.
Tips:
• You can view a list of all of your bookmarks within a book by tapping the Bookmark icon
on the reading toolbar or by tapping the top right corner of the page.
• To preview a bookmarked page or location, tap any bookmark in the list. To go to the
selected location, tap inside the preview pane. To remain on the current page and exit the
bookmark feature, tap outside of the preview pane.
• To delete a bookmark, tap the Bookmark icon on the reading toolbar, find the bookmark
you want to delete in the list, tap the bookmark to select it, then tap the X next to it.
• Bookmarks are added to a file in your library called My Clippings. When Whispersync for
Books is set to Enabled, these items are stored in the Cloud for you so they won't be lost.
To add a bookmark when listening to an Audible book, tap the Add Bookmark button on the toolbar
at the top of the Audible Player. These are audio-only bookmarks. To associate a note with an
audiobook bookmark, tap the Add Note button.
Footnotes, endnotes, and chapter notes
To quickly preview a footnote, endnote, or chapter note without losing your place in the book, tap
the note. These notes are displayed in a pop-up panel, either at the bottom of the page when the
note will fit in the bottom-third of the page, or full screen if the note will not fit in the bottom-third
of the page. To go to the selected location, scroll to the bottom of the preview pane and tap the "Go
to" option. To return to your original location, tap the preview pane. Note that not all books support
this feature.
