Collections, Clip Your Favorite Passages

Kindle User’s Guide

Welcome

Collections

To personalize and organize items, you can add your books, personal documents, and Audible audiobooks to collections on your Home screen. Create a new collection from the Home screen by pressing the Menu button and selecting “Create New Collection”, and then type a name for the collection. You can add as many items as you wish to each collection, and you can even add an item to more than one collection for more flexible organization.

Clip Your Favorite Passages

While reading a book, newspaper, or personal document, have you ever wanted to clip and save a few words to refer to later? With Kindle, simply select “Add a Note or Highlight” from the menu and use the 5-way to highlight the content you want to clip and then press the

5-way to save your selection. The clipping is added to a file in Home called “My Clippings.” You can review your clippings later, search for words or terms you clipped, and transfer the “My Clippings” file to your computer. This is a great way to capture your favorite quotations to share with others.

Bookmark Your Reading

Kindle automatically saves your place in whatever book you are reading, but you can also add a bookmark to any page in a book or PDF document by pressing the Menu button and selecting “Add a Bookmark.” You can see that the upper right corner of the page is dog-eared. Kindle stores all your bookmarks for the current content in your annotations. You can view them at any time by pressing the Menu button from the book you’re reading and selecting “View Notes & Marks.”

Add Your Own Notes

Do you like to take notes and make comments while reading? You can add notes to any of the content on Kindle. Amazon automatically stores all of your book annotations in the “My Clippings” file and backs them up at Amazon so they will not be lost.

To add your own note, move the cursor to the word where you want to add your thoughts, and begin typing your note. Then use the 5-way again to highlight the “save note” button onscreen and press the 5-way to select. You can later view, edit, or remove a note, or see all of your annotations by pressing the Menu button and selecting “View Notes & Marks.”

Notes appear as underlined text, with a superscripted number at the end. To see the note, use the 5-way controller to move the cursor over the notation number.

Stay in Sync
