Displaying Popular Highlights in Your Books

Popular Highlights help our readers focus on the passages and ideas in a book that are the most meaningful to the greatest
number of readers. We anonymously collect all the highlights added to a book by Kindle customers and merge them together to
determine a book's most frequently-highlighted passages. If a passage in a book is a Popular Highlight, we will highlight that
passage and we will also display the total number of people who have highlighted that passage.

Displaying Public Notes in Your Books

Public Notes help our readers focus on the passages and ideas in a book that are most meaningful to the people they follow. The
list of people you follow can be managed at http://kindle.amazon.com. If someone that you follow has highlighted a passage in
a book, we will highlight that passage and display the name(s) of the people that highlighted that passage. If someone that you
follow has written a note at a location, we will display an "@" sign in the text where the note was made. These Public Notes
will also appear in a list with your personal annotations if you select "View Notes & Marks" from the menu while reading.
Popular Highlights and Public Notes are available only for books, and not for periodicals or personal documents. By default,
Popular Highlights and Public Notes are displayed in your books, but you can turn them off if you don't want to see them.
To turn Popular Highlights or Public Notes on or off:
1. If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button.
