It’s the indicator of when the last reader ended the book – Dog-eared the page and never picked it up again. Greater insight than any Amazon review can give you.

I started reading a book today, eye-rolled at the introduction and then was completely vindicated by seeing page 1 of chapter 1 dog-eared.

Normally it’s not so quick…but it does give me pause when I see a dog-eared page halfway through a book. Should I quit? Thoughts, from you library-using readers?

    This is the only thing i miss with my kindle. “Flipping” back to find clarification or details or specific words is undelightful.

      Not trying to be snarky, but isn’t this what the highlight feature is for? That’s how I use it anyways. 😁

        I have never used the highlight feature. I feel like it would be annoying and not be easy or reminding like a dogear. Plus all of my books come from libby and sometimes those come with parts underlined, and i dont want to do that to someone.

        I’ll look into it though

          You can turn highlights from others off on the Kindle, I’m guessing the same for Libby books. The highlights only show up if there’s enough of them. So if 100 people highlighted the same passage it will show up underlined on your kindle. If only you do it, it doesn’t affect the next reader to borrow that book at all.

          You can also search for your highlighted passages on the kindle. It’s not an intrusive feature at all but whether you use it is up to you if you find it helpful.
