Kindle also gathers the annotations you’ve made across all your various books, magazines, newspapers, and personal documents and places them in the
“My Clippings” file in your Home screen. See Using Clippings for more information on My Clippings.
The list below explains the types of annotations:
Bookmarks — mark an entire page for later reference.
Highlights — mark a passage on a page for later reference.
Notes — add your thoughts about a passage.
The sections below explain how to add annotations.
Tip: All of your annotations on a Kindle book are backed up on Amazon servers in case you transfer your Kindle to another person or lose or break the device. When you download a previously annotated book from Amazon.com, your annotations and last location read will come down with it. When you open the book, you will be right where you were the last time you read the book and all of your annotations will be included. Note that your “My Clippings” file is not listed as
a separate downloadable item.
USING BOOKMARKS
Although Kindle automatically saves your place whenever you stop reading, you may also want to add additional bookmarks. You can place a bookmark at any location, and you can have multiple bookmarks in whatever book you are reading. When you add a bookmark, it is associated with the first location on the page. If you change text size, the bookmark will still be associated with that location. You can return to
a bookmarked location at any time.
Kindle stores all your bookmarks for the current content in your annotations. You can view them at any time by pressing the Menu button and selecting “My Notes & Marks.” See “Viewing Your Annotations” for more information.
