How to use bookmarks and notes in Bookshare Mobile Reader

Bookmarks and notes help you keep track of important places and ideas while reading. The bookmark feature lets you save your place in a book so you can return to it later. A note lets you add your own thoughts or comments while reading, like writing in the margin. Notes are saved near your current reading position and can be reviewed, edited, or deleted later.
