How to Highlight Text in a Kindle
The Amazon Kindle e-Reader is capable of downloading a large amount of books from the Kindle store. When reading a textbook or novel on your Kindle, you can highlight a word, sentence or passage that is important to you. Highlights can then be shared through a social networking site, such as Facebook or Twitter, or saved in Amazon's Public Notes site. Your highlighted passages will be saved for later viewing in the "My Notes and Marks" option of your Kindle's menu.
