One of the Kindle’s abilities is to highlight specific passages and now Amazon has released the most highlighted passes from the e-reader. 8 of these passages are from The Hunger Games Trilogy. Here is the full list:

1. “Because sometimes things happen to people and they’re not equipped to deal with them.” (Catching Fire)

The twenty-four tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor arena that could hold anything from a burning desert to a frozen wasteland. Over a period of several weeks, the competitors must fight to the death. The last tribute standing wins.” (The Hunger Games)
