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.

Reading manga on a Kindle is a unique experience, and highlighting depends heavily on the file format. If you're reading official Kindle manga from Amazon, some titles support text extraction, allowing you to highlight speech bubbles almost like text. Fan-translated scans or CBZ files? Not so much. With those, you're stuck using the bookmark tool or screenshotting.

I’ve found that sideloaded manga in PDF format sometimes lets you 'highlight' by drawing rectangles around panels, but it’s clunky. The Kindle Paperwhite’s larger screen helps, but it’s still not ideal for precise annotations. If you’re serious about annotating manga, a tablet with a stylus might be better. That said, I love the Kindle’s e-ink for long reading sessions—it’s easier on the eyes than LCD screens.

One pro tip: Use Kindle’s 'Clippings' file to export your notes if you’re analyzing a series. It’s a lifesaver for tracking themes or art styles across volumes.

As someone who juggles between physical manga and Kindle versions, I’ve learned to adapt. Highlighting on Kindle manga feels like using a blunt tool for fine art—it works, but not elegantly. For example, with 'Attack on Titan' on Kindle, I can bookmark entire pages to revisit epic spreads, but trying to highlight Levi’s snarky dialogue? Forget it. The zoom-and-tap method is tedious, though newer models like the Kindle Scribe improve this with pen support.

If you’re reading manga with heavy text, like 'Death Note,' the experience improves slightly. Some official releases let you highlight text bubbles, but fan scans won’t. I mostly use highlights to flag fight scenes or character introductions for fan discussions. It’s not perfect, but it beats lugging around 20 volumes.

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.

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!

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!

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.'
