Reading A Court of Splintered Harmony on your Kindle? Try this helpful feature.

If you're currently savoring A Court of Splintered Harmony on your Kindle, there's a handy feature worth trying. This e-book version is far more portable than its hardcover counterpart, which makes it perfect for taking with you everywhere. However, the immersive experience of a physical book is slightly diminished due to the lack of easy page flipping.

One particularly useful aspect is the difficulty in referencing back to the initial map found at the beginning of the book. A post by @melissaclausrealtor on Instagram demonstrates a great Kindle feature that can help with this very issue. She shows how to pin an image or text within the Kindle book you're reading, providing a convenient reference point later on.

To pin an image or text, simply go to the desired page, highlight the text or image, and a menu will appear. Click on the pin icon, and voila, your selection is now pinned across all of your notes. These pins are conveniently displayed at the bottom of your screen, allowing you to access them anytime.

Interestingly, you can even zoom into images on your pin, although you should keep in mind that the resolution on a Kindle is 300 ppi, which is lower than that of smartphones, typically around 460 ppi. This means images may appear slightly blurry, but increasing your device's brightness can improve the contrast and make the picture clearer.
