Whether you read Kindle books on a smartphone, a tablet, in a web browser, or on an honest-to-goodness Kindle, highlighting interesting passages in the text is a simple matter of swiping and tapping.
In the second step you tell Calibre what ebook reader you use. If you don’t use one go ahead and leave it as Generic/Generic e-ink device. If you do use one select the appropriate device such as Amazon/Kindle. In the third step you can configure Calibre to email documents to your ebook reader, such as to your Kindle’s email address. I determined that for every 1.5 pages of my kindle 2 there would be 1 page of the real book. Page 50 in the real book would start at location 494-502 and then would continue to location number 502-09 or 502-509. The first two digits of the location number for the entire book on my kindle have so far matched with the page numbers for the actual.
- As you see, the entire change was made to let you easily access your Kindle highlights and notes on the phone or tablet, using the mobile browser, for instance, Safari on the iPad or Chrome on the Android smartphone. When you enter the new homepage, you’ll see the list of all books you’ve made highlights and notes.
- Select delete to rid your Kindle of the unwanted app. Delete Unwanted Items from the Carousel. With the Kindle Fire software update, users have more control over what applications, web pages.
But while Amazon’s Kindle apps and e-readers make it easy to create and view highlights in a given volume, they don’t offer a single, centralized location for all your highlights.
There’s also no easy way to copy and paste highlighted passages, not even using Kindle “Cloud” reader on the web.
That said, there is another, little-known way to view your Kindle highlights: using your online, web-based Kindle profile.
Free keygen coreldraw x7. Once you activate your profile, you can click a link to quickly scan your highlights across all your Kindle books, all at once.
And yes, you can even copy and paste highlighted passages—within reason, hopefully.
Last but not least, you can also share your Kindle highlights and notes with other Kindle-toting bookworms … but only if you want to, of course.
You can view all your highlights for every Kindle book you own from your online Kindle profile.
Here’s how…
- First, visit kindle.amazon.com in your desktop web browser and activate your profile—a process that involves little more than signing in with your Amazon account.
- Once that’s done, you can customize your profile with your name, city, and other details, or connect your Kindle profile with Facebook or Twitter. You can also just leave your profile blank, if you’d rather.
- Next, click the “Your Highlights” link at the top of the page, and you’ll see a list of any passages you’ve highlighted in any Kindle book, ever. Any additional highlights (and “notes,” for that matter) will appear in this list once you’ve synced your Kindle device and/or app.
- Want to copy and paste a highlight? Just select it, copy it to your system’s virtual clipboard (Command + C on a Mac, or Control + C on a PC), then paste it into a Word or text document (Command + V for Mac, Command + V for PC), just as you normally would.
- To nix a highlight remotely, just click the nearby “Delete this highlight” link.
- Finally, you can share a highlight with other Kindle users. Click the “Your Books” link at the top of the page, click on a book with highlights you want to share, then click the “Make Public” button in the top-right corner of the page. And in case you’re wondering, your existing highlights will remain private until you say otherwise.
Thanks, Sobia!
