Bookmarks enable you to mark important places in a book for easy reference in the future. Places may include favourite passages, quotes, and other key information that may assist your studies.

You can add bookmarks to all forms of books including text-only books, text and audio books and audio-only books.

You can also add as many bookmarks as you need.

With EasyReader Premium, your bookmark positions and text notes are synchronised accross your devices.

Indicating a bookmark

The bookmark icon shows the position of your bookmark in your book. The icon is positioned in the left margin, adjacent to the text.

As well as having a visual indicator of a bookmark, EasyReader App can also play an audible beep when you encounter a bookmark. Enable this setting by opening 'Audio Settings' and selecting the 'Play sound on bookmarks' option.
