I find the annotating feature to be pretty easy to use, although it would be nice to be able to switch to annotating/highlighting mode with a single touch/click rather than going through options - notes - create/edit. The on screen keyboard is also pretty good for entering comments/notes, though again, it would be nice to be able to enter notes without having to exit highlighting mode and then clicking on the highlighted text. I find the stylus much easier to use for annotations than a finger - text selection is much more accurate.
Ignoring the very minor whinges above, the only real shortfall I find with Sony annotations is getting them off the ereader and onto my desktop. The Sony desktop software does allow for annotations to be exported to MS word, but for some reason truncates the highlighted text to the first 100 characters - this is quite annoying and I am not really sure why they do it (perhaps to stop people exporting larges chunks of text from DRM protected documents ...... a bit pointless given how easy it is to get around DRM protection!). I also don't like the fact that annotations have to be exported for each book individually: a batch export feature would be excellent. If anyone knows how get around these limitations, I'd love to hear from you
