If you are using Amazon Kindle, you might have already encountered a default feature called "Popular Highlights." Some readers prefer to use it while others dislike turning it on.
If you're one of the readers who do not want to utilize it, you can easily turn it off in just a few steps. Here's how you can get started with it.
Why Do People Dislike Popular Highlights?
With the convenience of e-book readers, many people are beginning to jump in using Amazon Kindle. It's one of the best options if you want to feel the virtual reading experience for a while.
You can grab one right away from a myriad of options including Kindle Oasis and Kindle Paperwhite. Apart from that, it has a lot of features that you can explore including a high-quality display and light temperature adjustment.
As for the software interface of Amazon Kindle, every model has a unique set of updates to offer. With the regular launch of new changes, you can get the best of both worlds from this device.
Speaking of Popular Highlights, many people notice that it's growing annoying to use since not all bookworms want to see a highlighted section. Although it appears to be useful in some way, some people say that it can simply ruin their reading experience, per Screen Rant.
