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 annotations and highlights will not be backed up at Amazon.
com, and they will not be displayed on other devices registered to your Amazon.com
account. Also, if you lose or damage your device, there will be no way to retrieve your
annotations and highlights.
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.
UPDATING POPULAR HIGHLIGHTS IN A BOOK
Popular Highlights may not be available for the books you already own. If a book you
already own does not include them, you can check for Popular Highlights by following
these steps:
1. Add an annotation to the book, such as a bookmark, highlight, or note.
2. Press the Home button.
3. Press the Menu button.
4. Move the 5-way down to underline “Sync & Check for Items” and press to select.
5. If there are Popular Highlights for the book, then you will see them the next time
you open the book. If you press the Menu button while reading the book and
the “View Popular Highlights” option is still dimmed, then no Popular Highlights
are available.
