Can i annotate in ibooks

You can also hold your Pencil on a word and use the handles to drag through the remaining text. The highlight is automatically added. To change the highlight color or underline the text instead, tap the text you highlight and then tap the colored circles. Notes in Books come with highlights. So to include a note, you must first highlight some text using the instructions above.

Then, tap the highlight and select the Note icon. So you end up with a list of bookmarks but no indication of why you bookmarked a particular page. The only information that differentiates the bookmarks is the chapter headings and a stamped date for when you added the bookmark. In the iAnnotate app, you can type a label for your books and pull them up in a separate viewer from your other annotations.

In the Kindle app all your highlights, bookmarks, and notes are combined into one section. However, unlike the iBooks app, the viewer for annotations in the Kindle app can be accessed from any page. The bookmarks are differentiated by their page location and the first few lines of the page you bookmarked. This is a little helpful, but not much, because it's not specific enough about why certain pages were bookmarked. It shouldn't be difficult for both the iBooks and Kindle apps to include customized bookmarking.

Any reader studying the content of e-books will often want write notes, comments, and even simply copy and paste particular passages from the pages of e-books. The iBooks app provides a yellow style sticky notes feature. Notes can also be color-coded, and they get affixed to the right margin of the page. You can also tap and pull up your notes in the Bookmarks section of iBooks, which means you don't have to navigate to a particular page to read your notes.

Oct 23, AM in response to JoshEvesz In response to JoshEvesz I've been looking at this today also, unfortunately it looks like there is no option in iBooks either in Mavericks or iOS to annotate and sync those notes via iCloud, when the book is in PDF format despite the implication that you can. Add to Library from the File menu 3 Sync the book to iOS using iTunes in the normal way the ePub book will automatically appear under Books in iTunes 4 You can now annotate by selecting the text in the book in either Mavericks or iOS and these changes push via iCloud provided this is all setup normally.

Tip: Press and hold the Command key while you select text to highlight it with the last color you used. Move the pointer to the top of the book, then click the Notes and Highlights button in the toolbar. Just start typing in the search field at the top of the sidebar.
