Kindle 2 User’s Guide 2nd Edition 45
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 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."

To place a bookmark:
1. Go to the page that you want to bookmark.
2. Press the Menu button.
3. Move the 5-way controller down until "Add a Bookmark" is underlined. Press the 5-way
to select.
4. A dog-ear icon in the upper right corner of the page will appear, indicating that the page
is bookmarked.
Tip: You can quickly create a bookmark by either holding down the Alt key and pressing the
B key, or by moving the 5-way up or down to go into cursor mode and then pressing the 5-way
controller twice.
Viewing$Your$Bookmarks$
To view your bookmarks, press the Menu button and select "My Notes & Marks." Bookmarks
are listed in the order they occur in the content. Each bookmark entry shows a location number
and the first line of the bookmarked location.
To go to a bookmark location, navigate to the bookmark and press the 5-way.
There is no limit to the number of bookmarks that you can set.
