I've been using a Kindle for years, and highlighting is one of my favorite features. It works seamlessly with books from most major publishers, allowing you to mark passages just like you would in a physical book. The highlights sync across devices, so you can revisit them anytime. Some indie publishers or older titles might have restrictions, but in my experience, 90% of the books I read allow highlighting. The best part is organizing highlights through Kindle's notes feature—super handy for book clubs or revisiting favorite quotes. I’ve even exported highlights for research papers!

Kindle’s highlighting functionality is a game-changer for avid readers, but its availability depends on the publisher’s settings. Most mainstream publishers like Penguin Random House or HarperCollins enable highlighting by default. However, some academic or niche publishers disable it to protect content.

I’ve noticed that DRM-protected books sometimes limit how much you can highlight, while public domain or self-published works are more flexible. The feature is incredibly intuitive—long-press a passage, and voilà! Highlights are stored in the ‘My Clippings’ file, which you can access via USB. For a deeper dive, tools like ‘Bookcision’ let you export and organize highlights beautifully.

Pro tip: If highlighting is crucial, check the ‘Download Sample’ option before buying. If the sample allows highlights, the full book usually does too. This has saved me from disappointment more than once!

As a heavy Kindle user, I rely on highlighting for both leisure and study. Most modern eBooks support it, but there are quirks. For instance, manga or illustrated books often block highlighting due to image-based formatting.

Amazon’s ecosystem keeps improving—highlights now sync to Goodreads, making it easy to share favorite lines. I’ve built entire reading journals around this feature! Some publishers restrict highlighting in new releases temporarily (likely to curb piracy), but restrictions usually lift after a few months.

Fun fact: Classics like 'Pride and Prejudice' or 'Sherlock Holmes' are highlight-friendly since they’re public domain. For newer titles, I recommend sticking to Amazon’s top-rated publishers to avoid limitations. The ability to search through highlights later is a lifesaver for book analysis.

Don't Date Your Best Friend (The Unfolding Duet 2 Books)
He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

How To Highlight Text In The Kindle Application?

3 Answers2025-05-14 12:38:40
Highlighting text in the Kindle app is super straightforward and something I use all the time when I’m reading. When you come across a passage you want to highlight, just press and hold on the word. You’ll see it get selected, and then you can drag the handles to extend the selection to cover the exact text you want. Once you’ve got it, a little menu pops up with options like 'Highlight,' 'Note,' or 'Share.' Tap 'Highlight,' and the text will be marked in the color you’ve chosen in your settings. I usually go with yellow because it’s easy to spot. If you want to see all your highlights later, just tap the top of the screen to bring up the menu, then tap the three dots in the corner and select 'Notes & Highlights.' It’s a great way to keep track of quotes or ideas you want to revisit.

Can I Highlight Verses In Bibles For Kindle?

As someone who loves both technology and religious texts, I can confirm that highlighting verses in a Kindle Bible is absolutely possible. The process is straightforward—just press and hold the text you want to highlight, then select the highlight option. Kindle also allows you to export these highlights for later reference, which is great for studying or sharing meaningful passages. One thing I appreciate is that Kindle Bibles often come with navigation features, letting you jump to specific books and chapters easily. Some versions even support X-Ray, which helps track key themes and characters. If you’re using a study Bible with commentary, those notes can sometimes be highlighted too, though it depends on the formatting. Overall, Kindle makes engaging with scripture surprisingly interactive and convenient.

Can You Highlight In Kindle Rent Books?

I use Kindle rentals all the time, especially when I want to try out a book before committing to buying it. Highlighting works just like with purchased books—press and hold a word, then drag to select the text you want. The highlights sync across devices, so I can review them later on my phone or tablet. One thing I love is that even if the rental expires, my highlights stay saved in my Amazon account under 'Your Highlights.' It’s super handy for studying or revisiting favorite passages. Just make sure to return the book on time to avoid extra charges!

How To Highlight Quotes In Novels On Kindle Basic?

4 Answers2025-06-05 01:20:31
As someone who spends hours curled up with my Kindle Basic, I've found highlighting quotes to be super intuitive once you get the hang of it. To highlight a passage, simply press and hold your finger at the start of the sentence you want to mark, then drag to the end. A small toolbar will pop up—select 'Highlight' from there. You can choose different colors like yellow, pink, or blue by tapping the highlight again and selecting 'Color' from the menu. One neat trick I love is organizing highlights by creating a 'My Clippings' folder on your computer. Connect your Kindle via USB, navigate to the 'documents' folder, and you’ll find a 'My Clippings.txt' file containing all your highlights. For deeper organization, I export this file to apps like Evernote or Notion, tagging quotes by theme or book. This makes revisiting favorite lines a breeze, whether it’s a poignant moment from 'The Song of Achilles' or a witty line from 'Good Omens.'

Can You Highlight On A Kindle While Reading Manga Or Comics?

3 Answers2025-07-09 17:47:33
I've been reading manga on my Kindle for years, and highlighting is totally possible but a bit quirky. Unlike regular books, manga and comics are image-based, so you can't highlight text directly. Instead, Kindle lets you use the 'note' feature to bookmark panels or pages. I often tap and hold on a panel to add a note like 'awesome art' or 'plot twist here.' It's not as seamless as text highlights, but it works. Some newer Kindle models even let you zoom in and highlight specific speech bubbles if the manga has OCR text layers. Just don't expect it to be as smooth as highlighting a novel.

I prefer using the yellow highlight because it stands out without being too distracting. For me, the key is to keep it simple—just highlight and move on. Overdoing it can make the page look messy. I also sync my highlights to Goodreads sometimes to share my favorite quotes with friends. It’s a seamless process that adds a lot of value to my reading experience.

Can You Highlight On A Kindle Without An Internet Connection?

I've been using my Kindle for years, and one of the best things about it is how well it works offline. Highlighting text is super easy even without an internet connection. Just press and hold on the word or sentence you want to highlight, then drag the selection to cover the text you need. The Kindle stores these highlights locally, so you don’t need Wi-Fi or data to save them. Later, when you reconnect, your highlights sync automatically to your Kindle account. It’s seamless and perfect for reading on the go, whether you’re on a plane or in a remote cabin. The offline functionality makes it a reliable companion for book lovers who want to focus without distractions.

How Can You Highlight Text On A Kindle When Reading Novels?

I've been using my Kindle for years, and highlighting text is one of my favorite features. When I come across a beautiful quote or an important detail, I press and hold on the word I want to highlight. A small menu pops up, and I drag the handles to extend the highlight over the entire passage. The text turns yellow, and it's saved automatically to 'My Clippings.' I love revisiting these highlights later, especially when reading novels with deep themes like 'The Song of Achilles' or 'Norwegian Wood.' It feels like creating a personal treasure map of my favorite moments in the story.
