Kindle’s Undocumented "Grouping" Power

Posted by Kindle 23 May 2009 No Comments »

IMO, this is probably undocumented because:1. It doesn’t always work. (but usually it does)2. It’s a bit geeky, and Amazon doesn’t want the Kindle to have a "geeky" image.What is it? The ability to create custom notes and then search on those notes and get a list of "clickable" links to those notes.What can you do with it? You can:1. tag your books and documents with multiple descriptive tags so that you can select books from your personal library according to various parameters you’ve created.2. tag your highlights so that you can create a selection of highlights from multiple documents according to parameters you create.3. Mark the exact spot, in multiple open books, with a special tag marking the locations where you’ve quit reading so that you can get a link list to those locations and bypass the Home Page if and when you wish.4. tag your clippings so that you can find them, grouped by subject, easily. With apologies. I feel the need to mention this feature every now and then because Amazon doesn’t, and I think it’s something that every new user should know about. I think it’s an amazing feature.lg
