How do you use a Kindle book that has quizzes?

Julius Caesar · 10-31-2016, 12:15 AM

I want to be able to write my answers right on the page but I don't think I can do that with a kindle book. Sure, I can use annotation but if I do that my answers would be hidden and I have to tap the screen to reveal my answers. Too disorienting to my liking.

You could simply format the answers as popup footnotes. For details see the Kindle Publishing Guidelines.

I think Doitsu is assuming you are the book's author? I didn't get that impression. But maybe it's so.

I think so but I am not the author. I am the reader.

In that case, I'm afraid that annotations are your only answer.

Or, you could do a "save a picture" (I don't know how any more, but you can still save a page as a screenshot, can't you?), get it off the Kindle with USB, print it, and then write your answers on the quiz on the printed copy.

I don't really think quiz books are intended for Kindles. One just answers in one's head, perhaps?

You can create a screen capture by simultaneously tapping opposing corners on the screen.

Wouldn't it be much easier to convert the Kindle book to a .pdf file with Calibre or the Prince PDF Calibre plugin?
