HDX Bookmarks

AciJub · 12-11-2015, 05:48 AM

I bought a Kindle Fire 8.9 HDX a couple of years ago, and have been extremely happy with it. Unfortunately I managed to break it, and thus bought a new one. Unfortunately this new one is slightly different.

In the old one, if I touched the Bookmark symbol I had the options of setting or clearing a bookmark or going to one of the bookmarks already set (and listed).

In the new one, I can set or clear a bookmark on a page. I AM able to set more than one bookmark on different pages, but if I set a bookmark half way into a book, for example, and I am positioned at the start, I still haven't figured out how to jump to that bookmark. Go to gives me the option of going to Furthest page read or page/location. If I chose the latter, I have to key in the location.

So is it possible from the start of a book, to jump to one of the bookmarks well into the book? If not, it sort of voids the idea behind bookmarks

There are now two relevant symbols as on other Kindles.

The black blob is the set bookmark one

The black blob with a white blob on it is the Notes and bookmarks one which is what you want (View Notes & Marks on an eink Kindle).
