With any luck, you will now be able to highlight all the text you are interested in. Assuming you are reading in a font size larger than #1 (my personal favorite is #4), reduce the font size to the smallest available–that will pull more text onto the active page. But if the passage you want to highlight runs onto the next page, you have a problem. If all the text you want to highlight is visible, fine. If you use Send To Kindle and store in cloud then your highlights and notes will be backed up there, and you can export them with any of the tablet apps.If you hit scroll the select wheel up to a line on a page of text that you are reading and click it, a menu will pop up that offers the option to “Add Highlight.” When you click that selection, the Kindle will place a highlight line above the line of text you clicked on, and will ask you in a box at the top of the page to “Select the range of text to highlight.” There’s the rub. If you side-load I do not think there is any way to sync notes between devices (I think with calibre ‘ASIN hack’ you can get reading position to sync but have never used that myself).

I find myself reading more sideloaded books so the Amazon highlights feature isn't really an option. Will my progress AND my highlights be synchronized across devices?ģ) As an aside where do you folks store all your book notes? As I start to read more, I like taking notes/highlighting passages but I don't want it just go away forever. what formats are allowed.mobi only? What's the best way of getting highlights off my Kindle paperwhite?Ģ) Let's say I want to read a book on both my paperwhite and my fire tablet. Can this be done? Or because it's a AZW3 format I cannot? I.e. Now I'm done with the book and want to use my Kindle fire tablet to export my notebook. If you use Send To Kindle to send your side-loaded doc to send to your device (and so it is stored in your Amazon cloud storage), then you can use any recent Fire, or the Kindle app on Android or iOS to Export your 'notebook'.įor some reason, this option is not available on Kindle (even though your notes will be stored there), and it won't work with side-loaded files since the implementation requires syncing notes to the cloud, where a server process gathers them up and sends them as an email attachment to the email address that you use for Amazon.ġ) Let's say I have side loaded a file as a AZW3 format to my Kindle Paperwhite and made some highlights.
