Classic Cut and Paste from books in Nook

Prince Hal · 08-25-2010, 09:38 PM

I asked this question a while ago, but was wondering if any software upgrades now gave this feature:

The ability to highlight a passage in a Nokk book and for it to be taken to a file that can then be transferred to a PC for putting into a word processor such as Word. Kindle does it to a my "clippings" file. Any luck with the updated Nook?

Mant thanks,

Hal.

Not that I'm aware of. B&N hasn't built in "syncing" features to teh desktop yet. NOt sure if it is coming, but they are promoting syncing on the iPhone app, so maybe they are working on it.

Right now, for notetaking and highlighting, the Kindle is hands-down the best device/ecosystem. I think the Sony Touch also allows you to see highlights on the desktop (although I loathe the Mac Sony desktop). I'm not sure if the Wacom devices (Bebook Neo, Onyx Boox) also offer desktop viewing of notes.
