Your annotations, highlights, and notes are stored in your Amazon Kindle account. Log in to view them organized by book title, with the option to make them public.
Highlights are invaluable for revisiting key ideas from your reads. Amazon has now enhanced this feature with a cleaner, more accessible design.
The new dedicated page is at read.amazon.com/notebook. Here's what you'll see upon logging in:
Recently updated books appear in a left-hand column, while highlights are elegantly displayed on the right. Ample white space ensures comfortable reading, even on smaller screens.
This redesign's standout feature? Full mobile compatibility—previously desktop-only. All core functions remain: Click a highlight to jump to its exact location in your Kindle book on PC or mobile (note: Kindle Cloud Reader support is absent, surprisingly).

While logged in, check the Daily Review section—a flashcard-style tool to reinforce retention of your captured insights.
