You can take a document that you have purchased through Amazon–you can mark up all your annotations, and those are stored in the cloud, which is absolutely brilliant, because you can copy and paste that and share that. You can’t do that at this time with Personal Documents. So if Amazon is listening, that’s my wish list. I would love for them to make that available for Personal Documents.

Thanks to your generous support after last week’s show, we raised more than $1,500. Thank you! This means we have $3,500 left to raise in order to meet this year’s fundraising goal. Click here to help, so we can continue to distribute donated Kindles to U.S. Soldiers deployed overseas.
