Notes

March 30, 2010 Cindy O'Neal

Notes are a way to add your musings to a book or personal file for future use. They are stored in the My Notes & Marks area with your bookmarks.

Special Note: Notes and bookmarks do not work on subscription blogs. I'm not sure about newspaper or other subscriptions.

To add a note:

• Use the 5-way to move the cursor to the left of the word on the page where you want to add your note.
• Type your note
• Use the 5-way to highlight the save note button. Press in on it to make it happen. If you change your mind you can press the Cancel button.

You will see a superscripted number where you placed your note. Notes are numbered in the order they appear in the book, so if you create another note on an earlier page, the numbering will change.

Notes are stored in a special file on your Kindle named My Clippings. More on that later.

To delete a note:

• Open the book you have notes (or bookmarks) in.
• Press the Menu button. Toggle down to the words My Notes & Marks. Press in on the 5-way.
• You will see any notes you created listed on the screen. Use the 5-way to toggle to the one you want to select.
• Press the DEL key to delete it.
  
• Press the key just below the Del key (looks like an arrow pointing down and to the left) to edit (change) the note without deleting it. Once your changes have been made, you will see the option to save the changes at the bottom of your screen. Toggle the 5-way to the option you want, then press in to make it happen.
• Press the Back key to return to your book.
