Using Bookmarks

With a paper book, it's easy to stuff multiple bookmarks in various places in a book so you can find certain pages again. With an ebook, you can't stuff a piece of paper in between its pages, but you can place multiple bookmarks on a page.

Creating a Bookmark

To create a bookmark, follow these steps:

  1. While reading an ebook in iBooks, open to a page that you want to bookmark.

  2. Hold your finger on a word on the page you want to bookmark until a magnifying glass appears. You can also bookmark a heading or entire sentence if you prefer—if you're studying for a class, you may want to use the bookmark feature as a highlighting tool.

  3. Lift your finger off the screen. A Dictionary, Bookmark, and Search menu appears over your chosen word, as shown in Figure 26-10.

    A menu of options appears after you select a word.

  4. Tap Bookmark. Your selected word appears highlighted.

Note

If you tap Dictionary, you can see a definition of the highlighted word within iBooks. If you tap Search, iBooks will find more instances of that word in your ebook.

Jumping to, Coloring, and Deleting a Bookmark

After you have created one or more bookmarks, you can view and jump to them at any time. You can also change the highlight color or remove the bookmark altogether. To use and tweak your bookmarks, follow these steps:

  1. While using iBooks, tap the image of the book that you want to read. Your chosen ebook opens with animation to mimic the opening of a real book.

  2. Tap a page, and then tap the Table of Contents icon that appears in the upper-left corner of the screen. The table of contents of your ebook appears.

  3. Tap the Bookmarks button that appears at the top of your Table of Contents page. A list of bookmarked pages appears, as shown in Figure 26-11.

    The table of contents can also list all your bookmarked pages.

  4. Tap the bookmarked page that you want to view. (If you tap the red Resume button in the top-right corner of the Table of Contents page, you can jump to the last page you viewed.) Your chosen bookmarked page appears.

  5. (Optional) Tap the highlighted bookmarked word or sentence. A menu of different colors appears, as shown in Figure 26-12. At this point, you can tap a different color for your bookmark or tap Unbookmark to remove the bookmark.

    Tapping a bookmarked word gives you the option of choosing a different highlight color or removing the bookmark.
