Take Note! It's Now Even Easier to Share Your Kindle Notes and Highlights with Friends (U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India)
Ever had a moment reading a book where you've gasped aloud? Or laughed out loud? How about that moment when you read about a new idea that is perfect for what's going on in your life? Readers often want to share moments like these with friends, so last year we launched the ability to share your Kindle notes and highlights on Goodreads. Now we are making it even easier to let your friends see what you "wrote in the margins" with our new page where you can see all the books with your notes and highlights.
Since we launched Kindle Notes & Highlights on Goodreads, we've been hearing from our members that they love having another way to share more of what they read.

By default, your Kindle notes and highlights are only viewable by you—you're always in control. You can choose to share them with friends by marking any (or all) of your notes and highlights as "Visible," and your friends will be able to view, like, and comment on them.
You can also add notes or edit your notes directly on Goodreads, and your changes will be saved back to your Kindle book. And if you're worried about spoilers, we've got you covered! You can mark individual notes and highlights as spoilers, so your friends can decide when they're ready to read them.
In the past few months, we've made several improvements. Now you can also:
One of the top requests has been for an easy way to see all your Kindle notes and highlights in one place on Goodreads, and we're now making that possible with our new Kindle Notes & Highlights page. It's a quick way to review all the books in your Kindle library with notes and highlights, edit or add to your notes, and decide which ones to share with your friends to start a conversation.

In the past few months, we've made several improvements. Now you can also:
- Access your notes and highlights from the Goodreads apps for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices (in addition to Goodreads.com). Want to refer to a key passage while you're at lunch with a friend or at your book club? Go to the book page in your Goodreads app and you'll find a link to your Kindle notes and highlights.
- In Kindle for iOS, choose which notes to share from the notebook.
- Share the notes and highlights from any Kindle book you purchase or borrow. This now includes Kindle books you borrow from your library, or read with a Kindle Unlimited or Prime Books subscription.
- See annotations from authors. Look for a link at the end of the description on the Goodreads book page to find books with author annotations, including The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, A Darker Shade of Magic by Victoria Schwab, Royally Screwed by Emma Chase, and The Friends We Keep by Susan Mallery.

Doesn't this work on mobi ebooks ? is there a possibility of an upgrade in the future where it'd be possible ?

When I go to sign up for the Kindle Notes & Highlights (with Amazon), my email address and real name appear (not my pseudo name). Will my real name and email address be visible on Goodreads? (Don't want that to happen) Thanks for your reply(s).

Hi, I am reading a paperback and would like to manually add my Notes and Highlight, but cannot seem to find where to add directly to my GoodReads without a Kindle?
Octothorpe Reader wrote: "Hi, I am reading a paperback and would like to manually add my Notes and Highlight, but cannot seem to find where to add directly to my GoodReads without a Kindle?"Unfortunately only Notes & Highlights made on Kindle are able to be shared using this feature; there is no way to manually add them. Another option would be to add them to your review or include them in status updates as you're reading.
is there any way I could share my highlights/notes regardless if I'm using android?? or is it because the books in my kindle are only sent to me and not bought? my highlights won't update on goodreads.

shiela wrote: but my books are not directly from kindle. only sent to me through email. how bout that situation." Unless your books came from the Kindle store or a Kindle-linked source (such as many library programs), these features will not work. While we'd love to make it work for everybody, the implementation requires services that we can only access via Kindle.

I'd also appreciate a way to add "Notes and Highlights" manually for books.
My child has a Paperwhite Kindle that she reads on and her own Goodreads account. Her Kindle is under my Amazon account. If I sync my Amazon account with her Goodreads account, will it let me link only her Paperwhite device with her Goodreads account, or could I later add MY Goodreads account to my Amazon Kindle account?

You’d think with Amazon being available pretty much everywhere it wouldn’t be that much of an issue.
خواندن، و خواندن و خواندن، بهترین تجربه من در زندگی بوده، و البته در اینجا بهترین فرصت برای نوشتن و خواندن از دیگران است، تجربه های که همیشه همراه من است
Great feature, but I was informed thatit is not available in my country only after I connected the accounts. :-(
I'm considering of trying it. So is it true that it will only make visible the notes I personally allow to become visible? I always read before sleeping, but sometimes my Kindle hits my nose, haha and I accidentally highlight things I did not intend to.
Why none of my books are not on kindlehights? These should be on that program. THE ACOMPLISESS, THE TWO DO NOT SUM UP THIRTY AND THE EARTHQUAKE BY O.MATT INDIE AUTHOR.
I updated my Kindle yesterday, but even though I'm happy with it, I got some problems. Whenever I try to share my notes and highlights, I just can't, because the only option available for me is to close the share menu (I only can see "share quote" and nothing more!). Now I only have the highlights and nothing more!

Almost a year later and the feature still hasn't found its way to the German market. Is there any hope this will happen?

Really! Is this a joke?! I love Goodreads, and this feature is really impressive, but it is still not linking my Amazon account to Goodreads! Literally.
