Accessing your notes and highlights later For years, there was a little-known trick to access your notes and highlights — you could visit a page on the Kindle website and scroll through them there.
Users outside North America may find that Amazon wants you to buy from a separate Kindle store for your country. It is possible to load PDFs from your computer into Kindle, e. The more you highlight, the harder it will be to find a quote again later; but highlighting short sentence fragments can make it hard to recall what they meant in context. Across Kindle and Preview, I use highlight colours fairly consistently.
On Kindle, yellow is a possible quotation, blue is for citations of other literature, red is something I might criticise, and orange is a possible hook for argument. I never use red for Foucault. Searching annotations Unfortunately, the Kindle app does not let you search within your highlights and annotations, or indeed for text fragments across multiple books.
To search notes and annotations within a single book, which is to visit the Kindle Notebook website , open your notes for that book and use Find in your browser. Unfortunately, if you have highlighted a lot of text, the website will truncate quotes for copyright reasons. Writing with quotes from Kindle If you use a PDF, you can use Zotfile to export your annotations into separate notes in Zotero, and it will even insert pre-formatted citations with the page number.
When reading is your business, taking notes is key -- and the Kindle makes it easy to make annotations directly in a book and review them later. How you take notes will depend on which model of Kindle you have. All models of the Kindle have a keyboard.
On the Kindle, Kindle Touch and Kindle Fire, the keyboard appears on the screen when needed; only the Kindle Keyboard features a hardware keyboard.
Navigate to the portion of the book you want to annotate. On the Kindle and Kindle Keyboard, you'll use the five-way controller to move a cursor through your book text.
To highlight text on your Kindle, press and hold the first word of the text you want to highlight until it's underlined, then drag your finger to the last word. Your chosen text will now be highlighted.
If you just want to highlight a single word, press and hold that word until it's underlined and select Highlight. To add to or remove from your highlighted text, tap it and adjust its length using the sliders on either end. In addition to highlighting text, you can select text to quickly see word definitions on your Kindle as well as utilize your Kindle's X-Ray feature. To add notes to your Kindle, tap your highlighted text and select Note.
You can then start writing your note in the box provided. Hit Save when you're done. Your note should appear as a small numbered icon at the end of your highlighted text, which you can tap to quickly view, edit, share, or delete your note.
To navigate between different notes on Kindle, tap the top of your screen to bring up your toolbar and select Go To.
