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.

Highlighting on Kindle is super intuitive, and I use it all the time to mark passages that resonate with me. To highlight, just press and hold on a word until it's selected, then adjust the handles to cover the text you want. The highlighted section turns yellow by default, but you can change the color in settings if you prefer something else.

One trick I love is using the 'Notes' feature alongside highlights. After highlighting, I tap the highlighted text and add a quick note about why it stood out to me. This is especially handy for dense novels like 'Dune' or 'War and Peace,' where I want to remember my thoughts on complex themes.

Another cool thing is that all highlights sync across devices via Kindle's 'My Clippings' section. I often export them to Evernote or Notion for deeper analysis. For romance novels like 'Normal People,' I highlight emotional scenes to revisit later. The feature is simple but adds so much depth to my reading experience.

OH, my fellow annotation addict, it’s easier than spotting a plot twist in a rom-com! Here’s the magic:

Press & Hold a word until it highlights (like giving the text a little love tap).

Drag the handles to select your entire emotional paragraph.

Pick a color—yellow for ”OMG foreshadowing!”, pink for ”swoon-worthy quote”.

Pro Tip: Your highlights sync to the Kindle app like gossip in a book club. Now go forth and underline that enemies-to-lovers banter! 📖💛 (P.S.: If you mess up? Long-press to delete—no evidence, no regrets.)

Exposing My Fake Sister with Mind Reading
My entire family could hear my thoughts. In my previous life, I was switched at birth with Victoria Harrington. I was reunited with my family 18 years later. It was the early 1920s, when owning a bicycle or a radio was still rare for most families. I had always dreamed of having one of those precious things. However, after I came home, Victoria would constantly brag right in front of me. "Mom told me that I'm the only one who deserves this fancy watch," she said with a sweet smile. "And look at this gorgeous bicycle Dad got me for my birthday! Oh, and when I mentioned wanting a radio, Daniel bought it for me immediately." Then came the real knife twist. "I know you're their biological daughter, Bernice, but let's be honest. When it comes to love, I'm their real daughter. Daniel definitely prefers me as his little sister too." Her words ate at me. I could not stop the bitter thoughts that flooded my mind about my parents and brother. The problem was that my family could hear every single one of those thoughts. Slowly, they began to resent me. Eventually, they threw me out into the cold, and I died alone in the winter streets while Victoria lived happily within the warmth of their love. When I opened my eyes again, I realized that I had been reborn. As I watched Victoria putting on her usual show, my thoughts took a delicious turn. 'Victoria thinks that Mom is such a cheapskate for only buying her a cheap watch instead of something expensive. She even calls Dad stingy behind his back because he didn't get her a pricier bicycle.' 'And she constantly complains about how ugly and crude Daniel is, saying that he embarrasses her. I wonder if I should share these thoughts with my family?'

How To Highlight Text In The Kindle Application?

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.

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'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.

Can You Highlight Library Books On Kindle?

4 Answers2025-07-20 07:02:33
As someone who practically lives on their Kindle, I've explored this feature extensively. Highlighting library books on Kindle is absolutely possible, but there are some nuances to be aware of. When you borrow an eBook from a library using services like Libby or OverDrive, the highlighting functionality works just like a purchased book—press and hold to select text, then choose 'Highlight.' However, these highlights are tied to your borrowing period. Once the book is returned, your highlights disappear unless you save them externally. I recommend using Kindle's 'My Clippings' feature or third-party tools like 'Bookcision' to export highlights before returning the book. Some libraries also sync with Amazon's 'Notes and Highlights' section under 'Your Content,' but this isn't universal. The process feels seamless, though—I’ve highlighted passages in 'The Midnight Library' by Matt Haig and 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir during loans without issues. Just remember to back up anything precious!

Can You Highlight In A Library Book On Kindle?

As an avid Kindle user who loves annotating books, I can confirm that highlighting in a Kindle library book is possible, but with some limitations. Kindle allows you to highlight text in most borrowed eBooks from services like Kindle Unlimited or Prime Reading, just like you would in a purchased book. The highlights sync across devices if you're logged into the same Amazon account. However, some library books borrowed via OverDrive or Libby may restrict highlighting depending on the publisher's settings. I’ve found that highlights in library books usually stay in your Kindle until the loan expires, and if you check out the same book again later, your highlights might reappear. For those who love revisiting their favorite passages, it’s a fantastic feature. Just press and hold the text to bring up the highlighting tool, and choose your color. It’s a seamless way to engage with the text, whether you’re studying or just savoring a beautiful line.
