Kindle Basics #10: Highlighting a Passage
Some readers enjoy making notes and highlighting bits of books that they’d like to refer back to later. The Kindle allows you to do both, and this week we’ll go over how to highlight a passage.
When you find a passage you’d like to highlight, position the select wheel next to the top line of the passage you’d like to highlight. Click and choose Add Highlight… from the menu. You’ll see a line appear where you had positioned the select wheel, and a message at the top of the screen that reads “Select range of text to highlight. Press select wheel when done.” Do just as it says: scroll the wheel to the bottom of the passage that you’d like to highlight and click. The screen will refresh and you’ll see a thin line outlining your highlight.
To read your highlighted materials, open the My Clippings content from your Kindle homepage. All of your highlighted passages and notes will appear here.
