Kindle Reader Progress bar little trick
Some Kindle books are formatted so that you can see chapter marks along the progress bar. I like this because it can help you see how much farther you have to go to the end of the chapter. Or for another example, I recently read an anthology of five novellas on my Kindle reader, and there was a mark for where each one started. So, I could see how far I was through each story.
Yesterday I started reading a three book bundle on my Kindle and was wishing there was something to mark each book on the progress bar so I could see how far through each book I am, rather than just the entire three books as a whole. Then I realized that we have a do-it-yourself solution available!
When you do a highlight or note in a book, it makes a little black dot on the progress bar. So I used the TOC to find the start of each book and did a note (i.e. “start of book 2″). Now there are dots on my progress bar marking where the second and third books start so I can easily see my progress in each individual book.
You could also do the same thing with chapters in a book if you wanted to take the time before you start reading. It’s easiest if the book has an active TOC so you can use it to jump to the start of each chapter, but if it doesn’t have one you can always do a search for on the words “chapter two”, “chapter three”, etc.
Just don’t use this method if you have your synching on because it will take you to that furthest point every time.
