Kindle Skills - Highlight Text

To Highlight Text:

• Use the 5-way controller to navigate to where you want to start highlighting. Press in on the 5-way controller once, then release.  This sets the starting point of your highlight.
• Use the 5-way to the right (or down) to highlight the text you want.
• When you reach the end of the highlighting you want, press and release the 5-way controller button again.

This is for the Kindle 3, but I believe it will do the same way for the Kindle 2.

Highlighting

originally posted March 31, 2010 by Cindy O'Neal

Highlighting text in a Kindle is similar to using a highlighter pen on paper. The Kindle stores all your highlights for any book as an annotation. View your annotations any time by pressing the Menu button and selecting My Notes & Marks. Highlights are notes you don't have to type.
Special Note: Highlighting and making Notes will not work in blogs. 

To Highlight Something:

• Use the 5-way to position the blinking cursor where you want to begin highlighting.
• Press the 5-way to begin.
• Toggle the 5-way right (or left) to where you want your highlight to end. You can turn pages if you need to highlight multiple pages of text.
• Press the 5-way where you want to end the highlighting (or press the Back button to cancel).
• The text you highlighted will appear with a gray underline.

Remove a Highlight:

• Use the 5-way to place the blinking cursor over the highlight you want to remove.
• Press the Delete (DEL) key

You can also delete highlights in the My notes & Marks area. Press the Menu button and select My Notes & Marks. Press in on the 5-way to open. Navigate to the highlight you want to remove and press the Delete (DEL) key. Then move the 5-way down until you select Close Notes & Marks and press the 5-way to close.

Note: You can exit just about anything by pressing the Back button.
