At least they're not only readable, but I can use the dictionary, search Wikipedia (or the general web) for a word or phrase and also annotate and copy passages.<br /><br /> There IS the old-fashioned way of doing it, which isn't too hard. Tap on the top edge to get the Menu and choose GoTo (depending on which Kindle you're using) and choose to go to Location 1. Then tap the top again and choose Home icon to SAVE where you are in the book.<br /><br /> Then reopen the book and it puts you on the Location you went to -- and in my case just now, Location 1.<br /><br />They were probably free books? DRM'd books can't be emailed to your docs area, so that means you could remove them from the Cloud and re-mail them to your account, and then you'd get a fresh start. She could read your book without your annotations or bookmarks. But the first method takes much less time....<br /><br /> Let me know you got this and whether or not it helps in your case. Thanks.<br /><br /> I tested with a doc that was an article from the NY Times.<br /><br /> - Andrys<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-41482873136634801212015-09-15T12:25:49.349-07:002015-09-15T12:25:49.349-07:00Unfortunately I have books not purchased from Amaz...Unfortunately I have books not purchased from Amazon that I emailed to my kindle. Those do not show in the manage screen to clear furthest read. Now that my wife is reading a series that I have already read (17 book series) this has become a massively annoying issue.
