Use Bookmarks, Highlights, and Notes
iBooks offers a full toolset for jogging your memory after you’ve put the ebook down, including bookmarks, text highlighting, and the ability to add notes in the virtual page margins.
Note
For highlighting and note-taking capabilities in PDFs, you’ll need to turn to an alternative app, such as GoodReader. See “Other Ebook Readers,” later in this chapter.
Create a new bookmark
1. On a page with text you want to remember later, tap the Bookmark button ().
2. Depending on what format you’re reading, the bookmark appears differently:
• For EPUB ebooks, a red bookmark ribbon slides over the page’s Bookmark button. The ribbon stays on the page even when the reading controls disappear.
• In illustrated books and PDFs, the red bookmark isn’t visible on the page once the reading controls disappear. However, if you tap the Contents button, you’ll see the red bookmark on those thumbnail previews that have been bookmarked.
