Have you found a really good passage in a Kindle book that you'd like to tell your social-networking friends about? Try sharing it with either of these two methods in this article.
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
Starting with Alt & Enter
Open a book on your Kindle.
Locate a passage you'd like to highlight, and prepare a highlight for the book by using the arrow keys on the 5-way cursor, but don't press enter to create the highlight itself.Advertisement
Locate and press Alt+↵ Enter with little time in between each key press. If you wait longer than 5 seconds in between key presses, the share will not be completed and the dialog box you'll need won't come up.
Type in a note to your social networking sites (Twitter and Facebook) (optional, but recommended).
Press the down arrow from the 5-way cursor on the keyboard. This should then place the highlight over-top of the "Share" button.Advertisement
Method 2
Method 2 of 2:
Starting with Notes Feature
- Open a book on your Kindle.
- Locate a passage you'd like to highlight, and prepare a highlight for the book by using the arrow keys on the 5-way cursor, but don't press enter to create the highlight itself.
Create a note for the passage but don't press the same button to create a note directly. You can move the cursor down to the boxes to select your choice, however.
Move the cursor over to the option called "Save and Share".
Press the "Select" button that is located in the direct center of the 5-way cursor area.Advertisement

Tips
- Depending on which of the two services you elected to supply the login results to on your Kindle, your passages will be shown to either of the two accounts that are accessible on your Kindle.Thanks
- You can still share a passage with your social networks, if the passage runs longer than what is presented on the screen directly. Keep turning the pages until the passage finishes.Thanks
- Sharing passages on Kindles, no matter the platform, has been a major thing since the Kindle 2. The only platform at this time that doesn't have this feature, is the Kindle for PC software (FREE). Amazon hasn't even decided to give people a copy and paste feature yet either.Thanks

Warnings
- Once you share your networking details with Kindle, you can't share passages to one service, and not share it with the other unless you connect one and not the other. When you share, you are sharing it with both services. You can share it this way, only if you disconnect the service and plan on reconnecting it immediately after.Thanks
- Within Facebook, Facebook tends to limit the passage to a limited amount of words. However, they do provide you with a direct (permalink) to the passage you selected. The person can then click on the permalink to read the continuation of the message.Thanks
- As with Twitter, they tend to send the person a URL-shortened link to the passage with the note you left as the only words to the remainder of the tweet.Thanks
- Easy does it! Go easy on the amount of passages you share with your social networking friends. They'll like your passages even more, if you don't share too many all at once. Some may even drop you as a "friend" (or to unfollow you) if you share too many with them (and most feel they can't keep up)!Thanks
