How to Highlight Text and Make Notes on your Kindle- Ginnoslab

Knowing how to mark text and write down notes on a Kindle is super helpful. Kindles are great for carrying loads of books, and the good ones come with neat features to make it feel like you are reading a real book. Just like you use bookmarks to remember where you stopped, you can also mark important words and parts and scribble notes in your book.

For students, using paper and ink is easy because you can write down thoughts, mark important parts, or highlight things to remember later.

Kindles, no matter which one you have, make it simple to add notes to your books. Thanks to Amazon’s Whispersync service, any highlights or notes you make will show up on all your devices linked to your account.
