You can use the Bookmark feature in the Kindle Fire HD to keep track of that perfect quote or a phrase you just have to read again at a later time.
To place a bookmark on a page, display the page and tap it to reveal the Bookmark button (the tool in the top-right corner of the page), and then tap the Bookmark button. A small bookmark ribbon appears on the page.
Your Amazon Kindle allows you to highlight portions of a book, which are then. You want to begin the highlight and drag your finger to select a section of text. Jun 9, 2017 - Amazon is moving your Kindle highlights and notes to a new place, which can. It was designed to be a book discovery tool, based on what other users. Complicated, while all you wanted was to copy the passage of a text.
To highlight text, press and hold your finger on the text. Small handles appear on either side. If you want to select additional adjacent text to be highlighted, press your finger on one of these triangular handles and drag to the left or right. When the entire phrase or paragraph you want to highlight is selected, tap Highlight.
When you place a bookmark on a page or highlight text within a book, you can then display a list of bookmarks and highlights by tapping the page and then tapping the Notes button at the top of the page to display your notes and marks. You can jump to the page indicated by a bookmark or to highlighted text by tapping an item in this list.
When you press text and see the menu shown, a brief definition appears from the pre-installed New Oxford American Dictionary. In the definition window, tap Full Definition to go to the full Oxford dictionary definition. Tap the Back button to return to the book.
As you read a book on your Kindle, you may want to save some text for future reference. While the Kindle enables you to copy and paste from Web pages in a browser, you cannot directly copy from an eBook. However, Amazon does offer a highlighting feature, which enables you to access highlighted text from your Amazon account.
Step 1
Navigate to the page on your eBook from which you want to copy text.
Step 2
Use your five-way navigational button to move the cursor to the location where you want to start highlighting. Press the middle of the button to start. If using a Kindle with a touch interface, simply press and hold on the spot to start.
Step 3
Move the cursor, either by using the five-way directional button or by dragging the highlighting icon, to the end of the passage that you want to highlight. Press the five-way directional button to complete the highlight. For Kindles with a touch interface, you will now have to choose 'Highlight' from a menu that appears.
Step 4
Press the 'Home' button to exit the book. This forces the Kindle to sync with your Amazon Kindle account.
Step 5
Navigate to the Amazon Kindle site (link in Resources). Log in to your Amazon account, if necessary.
Step 6
Click 'Your Highlights' and a list of all your highlights will appear. Highlight the text by clicking and dragging your mouse over it, then press 'Ctrl-C' to copy it.
Open a new word processing or text editing document. Place your cursor on the page and press 'Ctr-V' to paste the copied text.
Warning
- Your Kindle must have a connection for this to work. If you are currently somewhere without a signal, your Amazon account will not update with the highlight until the Kindle gets service.
