How to Save All Words You've Looked-up in Kindle Dictionary?

July 24, 2009

in Kindle Tips,Tips & Tricks

When you look a book up in the dictionary, highlight the word & the definition and it will save it to “My Clippings.”   You can then track all of the words you’ve looked up.  My Clippings is accessible in a text file when your kindle is tethered to your computer with the USB cable.  Here’s a step-by-step guide on saving your looked-up words:

    1. Place the cursor over the word you want to look up. (or search for the word)
    2. A “mini definition” displays at the bottom of the screen.
    3. While the mini-definition is showing, press the “return” key.
    4. The more detailed definition from the dictionary will appear.
    5. Place your cursor at the beginning of the entry and click the 5-way controller.  Then move the cursor to the far-right point of what you want to save to “my clippings” and click the 5-way controller once more to highlight the definition.
