iPad Essential Tasks Add Highlights and Notes to an iBook On your iPad you may want to highlight specific words or passages within a page of an iBook. And sometimes you want to add your own annotations or comments as well, which is handy for school assignments. Here’s how to do both: 1. Press and hold your finger against any text on a page. Then lift your finger to summon the Highlight and Note buttons. 2. These two buttons appear side by side, sandwiched along with Define and Search buttons that we address in a moment. You see grab points along the highlighted word. 3. (Optional) Refine the highlighted section by expanding the grab points. 4. Choose a button to add a highlight or note: When you tap the Highlight button, the word or passage you selected is highlighted in yellow. You can change the color. You can later read the highlight by returning to the Table of Contents page in the same way that you find a bookmark.

Add  Highlights  and  Notes  to  an  iBook  

On  your  iPad  you  may  want  to  highlight  specific  words  or  passages  within  a  page  of  an  iBook.  And  sometimes  you  want  to  add  your  own  annotations  or  comments  as  well,  which  is  handy  for  school  assignments.  

 

Here’s  how  to  do  both:  

1. Press  and  hold  your  finger  against  any  text  on  a  page.  Then  lift  your  finger  to  summon  the  Highlight  and  Note  buttons.  

2. These  two  buttons  appear  side  by  side,  sandwiched  along  with  Define  and  Search  buttons  that  we  address  in  a  moment.  You  see  grab  points  along  the  highlighted  word.  

3. (Optional)  Refine  the  highlighted  section  by  expanding  the  grab  points.  

4. Choose  a  button  to  add  a  highlight  or  note:  

When  you  tap  the  Highlight  button,  the  word  or  passage  you  selected  is  highlighted  in  yellow.  You  can  change  the  color.  You  can  later  read  the  highlight  by  returning  to  the  Table  of  Contents  page  in  the  same  way  that  you  find  a  bookmark.
