1. no....that is not exactly correct. You can highlight as many characters at a time as you wish. However, there is a limit of 100 characters that can be transferred from the reader library software to another program....apparently a self-imposed limit to honor copyright concerns.

2. no idea how it works in Europe. In the US, Wi-Fi gets you to the web to browse. Wireless service gets you to the Sony ebook store.

3. Yes, lots of options for viewing

4. two ways to highlight.

First method, double click and drag over the word or words to be highlighted, then choose the highlight icon from the menu that pops up.

Second method, click on "options" button, click on "notes", click on "Create/Edit", click on "highlight" icon. The Menu will REMAIN OPEN at the top of the screen. Whatever words you then select will be highlighted. The menu will then REMAIN OPEN. Whatever words you next select will be highlighted.

I prefer the 2nd method because I highlight a lot. The only caveat is....when using this method, any touching of the screen is interpreted as a highlighting command. Therefore you cannot swipe pages to turn them....you must use the page turn buttons at the bottom. Even with that caveat, I have found that I prefer method 2.

5. N/A
