    I was wondering if anyone had any tips on using your kindle for school.  I spent probably 2 hours yesterday putting notes in the chapter, so I knew where to end the days reading. It took MUCH longer than if I had the actual book where I could quickly count pages and make notes in the margine. 

    Any thoughts on this are appreciated!

    Thanks!

    I use a Kindle for school so maybe I can help…

    however, I’m not sure I am understanding the question…  you are breaking the chapter of a book up into smaller readings?  Is that correct?  And you are having a harder time figuring out how much to read for each day with no page numbers?  

    Let me know if I’m understanding the problem correctly…

    Yes that’s right.  I have to count the pages, since there are no page numbers, and then go back and mark it for each day.

    Well, for most of our books, we just read a chapter a day, or however much the kids are attending to….  and it just keeps us at that spot.

    For a couple of books, where I wanted to break the reading for a chapter in half… I got to the where the reading started and noted the location number, then jumped to the next chapter using the table of contents (if it was a working one… or did a search for the name of the chapter if it didn’t…) and noted that location number… then we just read to the location number halfway between. 

    The good news is that the Kindle does now support page numbers. (You have to bring up the menu to see it).  The bad news is that the vast majority of books do not have the page numbers yet (because the feature is new…).

    Anyway, hope that helps…
