Navigating to Highlights

anamardoll · 01-21-2013, 11:41 AM

I feel I am probably asking a silly question, but I've recently been gifted a Kindle Paperwhite after using B&N Nooks for years and I'm having adjustment difficulties.

On the Nook, when I create a highlight in a book, that highlight appears in the navigation GUI -- when you pull up navigation, there's a tab for Table of Contents and a tab for user highlights and notes. This lets you drill directly to a highlight, if you so desire.

Can I do this on the Kindle Paperwhite? When I hit "go to", I only see the Table of Contents; I don't see a means of navigating to my highlights directly within the book.

Thanks for any help.

I haven't got my Kindle to hand, but IIRC, on the goto list, there's an option like "Notes & marks", which is the one you want.

How strange, for I cannot find it, and it seems likely that it should exist.

Menu / View Notes and Marks

Really not TOO tough to find

There it is -- thank you!

It's rather different when you're used to it being in the navigation options, rather than in a catch-all list that also includes "Shop Kindle Store", "Landscape Mode", and "Settings".

Hmm, I was aware of this menu, but as far as I can see, it does not work for sideloaded books. Anyone can confirm this?

It should, if you have made highlights or notes.

Yes, it works. I just remembered I removed and then re-added some books, and the highlights were not preserved, only in My Clippings. Makes sense though. Thanks.
