  1. You can view all your notes, highlights, and bookmarks for a particular book. While reading a book, tap the top of the screen to display the toolbar. Then tap Menu→View Notes & Marks. All your notes, your highlights, and the popular highlights for that e-book are displayed. You can view your annotations from a personal computer by going to.
  2. Mar 05, 2016 To hide this information when you’re reading your Kindle book on your iMac or MacBook Air, however, you need to go to Kindle Preferences.

Have you ever noticed the Popular Highlights that are available on Kindle ebooks?

Kindles have a lot of features and some of them are easy to overlook. Popular Highlights is one feature that I’ve never paid much attention to. In fact I usually have them turned off so I don’t get distracted by them while reading. But it’s actually kind of a cool feature when you think about it.

As the name suggests, Popular Highlights show the most highlighted passages that readers have added to Kindle books.

Kindle Hide Highlights How To

It’s a unique feature that’s not available on other types of ebooks, just Kindle books.

Amazon also displays how many times each passage has been highlighted. It’s kind of crazy when several thousand people highlight the same sentence.

Obviously the more popular a book is the more highlights it will have. A lot of books don’t have any popular highlights. I think it takes at least three highlighters to make a highlighted section show up under popular.

Kindle Hide Highlights And Styles

There are two ways to view Popular Highlights in Kindle books. You come across them naturally while reading, and you can also view the full list of popular highlights from the Notes list.

On Kindles you select the Notes tab from the Go To page and select Popular. Or you can select Notes from the menu.

However, Popular Highlights only show up when you have the setting enabled.
