Add Your Own Notes
Do you like to take notes and make comments while reading? You can add notes
to any of the content on Kindle. Amazon automatically stores all of your book
annotations in the “My Clippings” file and backs them up on Amazon servers so
they will not be lost.
As an example, this sentence is highlighted and has a note attached as indicated
by the superscripted number one to the right of this text.
1
Using the 5-way controller,
move the cursor over the notation number to see the note. To add your own note,
move the cursor to the word where you want to add your thoughts, and begin typing
your note. Then use the 5-way again to highlight the “save note” button onscreen and
press the 5-way to select. You can later view, edit, or remove a note, or see all of your
annotations by pressing the Menu button and selecting “View My Notes & Marks.”
Social Networks
Share your notes and highlights with friends using social networks like Twitter.
Whenever you create a note or a highlight, press the ALT+ENTER keys +
to share it to your social network.
To set up your social network accounts on your Kindle, go to the Settings screen and
select “manage” next to Social Networks. The browser will launch and allow you to
link your social network accounts to your Kindle.
Stay in Sync
Whispersync technology saves and synchronizes your reading location across your
Kindle(s) and other devices. For example, you can read a few pages on your iPhone
and pick up right where you left off when you return to your Kindle.
Convert Your Own Documents
In addition to all of the great reading material you can get from the Kindle Store,
Amazon can also convert your own documents so you can read them on Kindle.
You can e-mail Microsoft Word, TXT, RTF, HTML or image files like JPEGs and GIFs
to your dedicated Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the
Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com). We will convert the document into Kindle
format and wirelessly provide it directly to your Kindle via Whispernet for a fee or
back to your computer for free. If you e-mail a PDF to your Kindle DX, it will be sent
to your device with no conversion.
