Highlighting Passages
You can highlight text in Kindle like you would use a highlighter pen on paper and view them at any time by pressing the Menu button and selecting “My Notes & Marks.” The text you highlight appears with a gray underline.
To highlight one or more lines:
- Use the 5-way to position the cursor where you want to start highlighting.
- Press the 5-way to anchor the cursor.
- Move the 5-way to select the desired text. Use Next Page or Prev Pages to highlight text across multiple pages.
- Press the 5-way at the place where you want the highlight to end.
To remove a highlight:
- Press the Menu button and select “My Notes & Marks.”
- Underline the bookmark you want to remove with the 5-way controller.
- Press the Delete key.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 to remove additional highlights.
- Select “Close Notes & Marks” when finished.
Viewing Popular Highlights
Amazon displays Popular Highlights by combining the highlights of all Kindle customers and identifying the passages with the most highlights. The resulting Popular Highlights help readers focus on passages that are meaningful to the greatest number of people. Some books don’t have enough highlighting in them to have Popular Highlights. Popular highlights are marked with a gray dashed underline in your reading. You can see Popular Highlights for all books that have them at kindle.amazon.com.
To view Popular Highlights:
- Open a book on your Kindle.
- Press the Menu button and select “View Popular Highlights” from the options.
To turn Popular Highlights on and off:
- Navigate to Kindle’s Home screen and press the Menu button.
- Select “Settings.”
- Select the desired option next to “Popular Highlights.”
Managing Popular Highlights
If you have a Kindle device, you can turn off having your highlights in popular highlights by turning off Annotations Backup in Settings on your device. If you have a Kindle App, we will be adding this capability soon. Annotations BackUp backs up your annotations and last page read and syncs them across devices. You can also remove highlights you made previously from Popular Highlights.
To turn off Annotations Backup:
- Navigate to Kindle’s Home screen and press the Menu button.
- Select “Settings.”
- Select the desired option next to “Annotations Backup.”
To remove previous highlights from Popular Highlights:
- Visit the AmazonKindle website and login using the e-mail address and password for the Amazon account you used to register your Kindle.
- Select “Your Highlights” from the Browse options at the top of the page.
- Select “Delete this highlight” next to each highlight you wish to remove.
