iBooks offers a full toolset for jogging your memory after you've put the
ebook down, including bookmarks, text highlighting, and the ability to
add notes in the virtual page margins.
note
For highlighting and note-taking capabilities in PDFs, you'll need to
turn to an alternative app such as GoodReader. See “Read Other Text,”
later in this chapter.
On a page with text you want to remember later, tap the Bookmark
button.

Depending on what format you're reading, the bookmark appears
differently:
■
For EPUB ebooks, a red bookmark ribbon slides over the page's
Bookmark button. The ribbon stays on the page even when the
reading controls disappear.
■
In illustrated books and PDFs, the red bookmark isn't visible on the
page once the reading controls disappear. However, if you tap the
Contents button, you'll see the red bookmark on those thumbnail
previews that have been bookmarked.
To remove a bookmark, simply tap the ribbon (or ribbon button) and it
goes away.
Because text gets reflowed when you switch between portrait and land-
scape views, your bookmark placement might not end up where you
thought it would go.
