Some people must find this useful and interesting, but I definitely side with you that it’s more distracting than anything else.

Is there a way to turn that off I read a lot of books through the Amazon Kindle system, whether it’s on an actual Kindle device, on my Apple iPad or even with the Kindle app on my MacBook Pro, and in every case, I prefer to turn off the. See the underline below “It’s better to have a plan than not have a plan, but at the same time, no plan survives contact with reality.”? And if you look really closely it says “79 highlighters”. Works well, but the Mac version of the Kindle app shows me popular highlights, which I really hate. On the Mac it even tells you how many have done so, even more distracting. To start, in case people aren’t sure what we’re talking about, Popular Highlights gives you a dotted underscore on passages that other people have highlighted and found important. So we’ll have to disable it in the Mac OS X Kindle app. And as far as I have figured out, there’s also no way to turn it off at so that it’s set across all devices, current and future. I not only don’t want to see what other people have tended to highlight but I find it distracting: I want to draw my own conclusions about what’s important or what’s well crafted prose.Įach system has its own interface and way of letting you access settings, however, so there’s no universal answer to the question of how to disable this “feature” so it doesn’t interrupt your reading experience. I read a lot of books through the Amazon Kindle system, whether it’s on an actual Kindle device, on my Apple iPad or even with the Kindle app on my MacBook Pro, and in every case, I prefer to turn off the “popular highlights” feature.
