  We study the finite term of the holographic entanglement entropy for the
charged black hole in AdS(d+2) and other examples of black holes when the
spatial region in the boundary theory is given by one or two parallel strips.
For one large strip it scales like the width of the strip. The divergent term
of its expansion as the turning point of the minimal surface approaches the
horizon is determined by the near horizon geometry. Examples involving a
Lifshitz scaling are also considered. For two equal strips in the boundary we
study the transition of the mutual information given by the holographic
prescription. In the case of the charged black hole, when the width of the
strips becomes large this transition provides a characteristic finite distance
depending on the temperature.
