How to Use a Magnetic Bookmark to Track Your Reading

Quick answer

To use a magnetic bookmark, clip it over the page you're reading so the magnet grips both sides, then move it forward as you progress. This keeps your place secure without slipping out like a flat bookmark.

How to use a magnetic bookmark step by step

1. Position it on your current page: Open your book to the page you're reading and place the bookmark so the magnet sits over the top edge of the page, with one side on the front and the other on the back. Make sure the magnet is fully aligned to grip firmly. Check that the magnet is centered over the page edge so it doesn't slip off.
2. Close the book gently: Close the book and press lightly on the cover to let the magnet clamp down. Avoid slamming the book, which can shift the bookmark or crease the page. If the bookmark feels loose, reposition it before closing.
3. Move it as you progress: When you finish a reading session, open to the next page and slide the bookmark forward. Don't leave it on the same page for days, as the magnet can leave a slight mark on soft paper. Set a habit of moving the bookmark every time you pause reading.
