  • QuestionCan you highlight and take notes as you read?

    Asked by Mary.

    • Answer Hello Mary, Yes you can Highlight and make notes on a Kindle Paperwhite. When you have a selected book open, you are able to tap the screen and a prompt will come up. If you would like to highlight more than a word, you can tap and drag your finger across the text you would like to highlight or notate. Once you release your finger from the screen, a box will appear asking if you would like to "Highlight, Note, Share, Search, or More" to the selected text. I hope this helps!

  • QuestionColored highlights are available in Kindle apps and on the Kindle Colorsoft. Does this monochrome device give you the option of selecting highlight color even though it will not be visible on this device (for visibility when opened elsewhere?)

    Asked by ChristieW.
