3.5 Bookmarks, Annotations, and Clippings

You can add annotations to all of your books and periodicals. All of your annotations will
appear in the "My Clippings" file in your Home screen and include:
Bookmarks — allows you to mark an entire page for later reference.
Highlights — allows you to mark a passage on a page for later reference.
Notes — allows you to add your thoughts about a passage.
You can use the Menu to display, edit, or delete the annotations you have added to your
document.
In addition to annotations, you can "clip" pages of your reading materials to the "My
Clippings" file, which you can open from your Home screen. The "My Clippings" file
contains all of the bookmarks, highlights, notes, and clippings you have made while
reading on Kindle. The contents of the "My Clippings" file are available to read later or
to copy to your computer if you want to further edit or send them to someone else. The
"My Clippings" file is stored as a TXT file so you can easily import it into one of your
computer applications.
Tip: All of your annotations are also automatically backed up on Amazon servers in case
you lose or break your Kindle. When you download a previously annotated item from
Your Media Library, your annotations and last location read will come down with it.
When you open the item, you will be right where you were the last time you read the item
and all of your annotations will be included. Note that your "My Clippings" file is not
stored on Your Media Library.
