Popular Highlights appears. By default, the list is sorted by popularity. If this option appears

A book's Popular Highlights will change over time, and highlights that were once popular may
be displaced by others as readers continue to add or remove highlights in the book. If there
are certain passages in the book that you want to be able to refer back to, then highlight
those passages yourself.
If you do not want your own highlighted passages to be counted in Popular Highlights, you
must turn off Annotations Backup in Settings. Keep in mind that if you turn off Annotations
Backup, your notes, highlights, and bookmarks will not be backed up by Amazon, and they
will not be displayed on other devices registered to your Amazon account. Also, if you lose or
damage your device, there will be no way to retrieve your notes, highlights, and bookmarks.
Not all books contain Popular Highlights, and some books do not have enough highlighted
passages to have even a single Popular Highlight passage. When you are reading such a
book, if you press the Menu button you will notice that the "View Popular Highlights" option
will appear dimmed.
