A bookmark marks a sentence so you can come back to it. Add one at the sentence being read or at any word, with a note if you like.

Bookmark the current sentence

• Press B while reading, or choose the star. "Bookmark added" confirms it.
• Or open Bookmarks in the top bar, type an optional note in Note for a new bookmark (optional), and select Add.

Bookmark a word you can see

Go back to a bookmark

1. Open Bookmarks in the top bar.
2. Each bookmark shows a short excerpt, its note and when you made it.
3. Select Go to show that place in the text. The voice keeps its place: select Read from here to continue reading from the bookmark.

Edit or delete a bookmark

In the Bookmarks panel:

• Select Edit note to change the note, then press Enter to save or Esc to cancel.
• Select Delete bookmark to remove it.

Good to know

• Paragraphs with a bookmark are marked in the text.
• Bookmarks stay in the right place even when you add the same book to your library again.
• With sync on, your bookmarks reach your other devices. See Sync your notes and bookmarks.
