Add Your Own Notes

Do you like to take notes and make comments while reading? You can add notes to any

of the content on Kindle. Amazon automatically stores all of your book annotations in

the "My Clippings" file and backs them up at Amazon so they will not be lost.

As an example, this sentence is highlighted and has a note attached as indicated by the

superscripted number one to the right of this text.

1

Using the 5-way controller, move

the cursor over the notation number to see the note. To add your own note, move the

cursor to the word where you want to add your thoughts, and begin typing your note.

Then use the 5-way again to highlight the "save note" button onscreen and press the

5-way to select. You can later view, edit, or remove a note, or see all of your annotations

by pressing the Menu button and selecting "View My Notes & Marks."

Stay in Sync

Whispersync technology saves and synchronizes your reading location across your

Kindle(s) and other supported devices. For example, you can read a few pages on your

iPhone or Blackberry device and pick up right where you left off when you return to your

Kindle. For a complete list of supported devices, visit the Kindle Support page on

Amazon at:

Convert Your Own Documents

In addition to all of the great reading material you can get from the Kindle Store,

Amazon can also convert your own documents so you can read them on Kindle. You

can e-mail Microsoft Word, TXT, HTML, RTF, or image files like JPEGs and GIFs to your

dedicated Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the Manage

Your Kindle page on Amazon). We will convert the document into Kindle format and

wirelessly provide it directly to your Kindle via Whispernet for a fee or back to your
