Annotations And Clippings - Amazon KINDLE - MANUAL 2 User Manual

3.5 Annotations and Clippings

You can add annotations to all of your books, periodicals, and personal documents .
Annotations can include notes you have written, highlights you've marked, and
bookmarks you've created. Bookmarks can only be created in books and PDF
documents. Annotations are specific to the content you are reading, so each book,
periodical, or personal document has its own annotations. When you view the
annotations, you see only those for the content you are currently reading. Note that
when you create an annotation in a newspaper or magazine, you will see the word
"keep" to the left of the issue title in Home, indicating that the issue will be stored on
your Kindle until you remove it.
Kindle also gathers the annotations and bookmarks 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. You can create bookmarks in
books, PDF documents, and personal documents.
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 and bookmarks on a Kindle book are backed up at Amazon
in case you transfer your Kindle to another person or lose your device. When you
download a previously annotated book from Amazon, 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. In
