USING CLIPPINGS
In addition to annotations, you can “clip” an entire periodical article to the
“My Clippings” file. The “My Clippings” file contains all of the bookmarks, highlights,
notes, and clippings you have made across all your content. Later, you can view the
file or copy it to your computer as a text file. Once on your computer, you can edit it
or send your clippings to someone else. Clipping and highlighting are a great way to
capture your favorite quotes and share them with others.
To clip an article in a periodical:
1. Go to the periodical article that you want to clip.
2. Press the Menu button.
3. Move the 5-way controller down until “Clip this Article” is underlined. Press the
5-way to select.
Kindle adds your clipping to the “My Clippings” file. You can review your clippings
later, search for words or terms you clipped, and transfer the “My Clippings” file
to your computer.
To view your clippings, press the Home button to display the Home screen. Move the
5-way down until “My Clippings” is underlined. Press the 5-way to open it. While
viewing the file, you cannot navigate through to the materials referenced in the file.
