Thanks.
I'm not sure what you mean by "on the fields", but my favorite reader for notes and annotations is a Kindle. Every* passage you underline and every note you make is recorded in a text file ("My Clippings.txt) that can be easily downloaded to your computer via USB. In addition, if the book was purchased at Amazon, you can opt to have all the copied passages backed up on your Amazon page for easy retrieval over the Net. The WiFi only version is $139, but if you live in the US or anywhere covered by Amazon's 3G network, I strongly recommend going with the $189 model with Wifi & 3G.

I don't know if the newer Sonys have changed the way they do things, but I don't bother making notes or copying passages on my PRS-600 because it has a nasty habit of truncating the text when importing to a PC.

* One caveat: Occasionally an author or publisher will limit the amount of text that can be copied in a particular book or even more rarely forbid copying altogether. I've only encountered one book so far where copying was totally forbidden, and only a very few where a publisher or author has set a limit that I've exceeded.
