I am thinking about purchasing a Kindle 3 but wanted to inquire about its ability to handle a high quantity of highlighting and note-taking.

My experience with the Sony PRS-900 (Daily Edition) has been disappointing. I currently have 60 books (mostly PDFs) and over 700 notes on my Sony reader (the notes are mostly highlighted sections about 2-3 sentences long). After reading and highlighting the first few books/pdfs, I noticed a lag of several seconds while the reader "processed" the note. This lag has gotten progressively longer, forcing me to become increasingly selective with highlighting. It now takes about 3-4 minutes for each note to process! The delay obviously makes highlighting while I read impractical.

I am looking for a reader that can handle extensive highlighting. Can anyone confirm that the Kindle 2 or DX (and, by extension, the soon-to-be-released Kindle 3) is suitable for this? Thanks.
