Hi all

I have a question about annotating documents, and whether annotations are actually retained on the documents when the book is transferred to another device.

Not that I have any ebook reader yet, me and my wife are still on the planning stage, thinking that it would be nice to have one but wondering which one we should buy (we thought of buying the same type to both us).

One reader we have been considering is the Spring Design "Alex".

Would anyone know if the annotations I make to a book are saved in the book somehow, so that they are visible in the book when it is transferred from e.g. my device to my wifes device?

I know that for example Adobe Acrobat Reader has a mechanism through which some documents can be annotated and the annotation can be saved with the document. Is that the mechanism used by the ereaders?

Thanking in advance for any help...
