Highlighting / Notes / Study Cards
To add highlights and notes to your book, simply drag your finger across some text. You will notice your text will highlight. You can then tap on the highlighted text to bring up a menu that allows you to change the color of the highlight, add an underline, delete the highlight, or add a note. If you add a note, a little flag will appear on the side of that screen and will also save and list all your notes in the notes section. Notes can also be viewed as study cards—see the highlighted text on one side, and flip to see your note on the other side. You can also shuffle the study cards to test your knowledge and add more variety to your studies.
