 Kindle conundrum - neiltoo
An inconsequential question, but interesting.

I view my kindle library on my tablet, and much less frequently my laptop.

Occasionally, a line will be underlined with a faint dotted line.

Anyone know why?

Thanks.

They do seem very random for "popular highlights".

...well, they might be something else, but if you turn them off in the settings and they disappear, I think you can probably believe it...

Well,

Kindle on the laptop doesn't have a settings button.

On the Tablet, there is. settings opens up, and popular highlights opens a list of - presumeably, highlights in that book. No way to turn off.

Obviously, that forum only shows for a Kindle instument.

Only an idle inquiry!

Thanks

..on my tablet version, with a book open tap the middle of the screen to get a menu, then the Aa option, in there under "More" you can turn the "popular highlights" on and off.

Brilliant!

Why can't they use a recognised symbol for settings?

or three lines or 5 lines or a logo. Thats if they call it settings, it may be preferences.

Don't lower the tone when a man's on his uppers. That's a capital offence. You'll be getting a letter.

It's at No.6 I think. Or was it No. 10?

Lambert and Butler are already there, and Benson and Hedges are on their way.
