Thanks, Obsessed. It is good to know that people that know what they are doing are working on these issues. Just to be clear, I would actually be perfectly content with the ability to see the notes that I attach on the Edge on other platforms.

I think this is a slightly different issue than the annotations problems because what I would like is when I 1) attach a note on the ereader side, 2) select the text to attach, 3) type the note on the tablet side, and I would like to be able to see that note on other platforms. Actually, in an ideal world, I would like to be able to attach a note from Evernote to specific text (like how one can attach a webpage), but I am not sure how feasible this is.

I really know nothing with regards to the development side of this, but I feel like the issue with attached notes should not really that difficult since attaching a note on the Edge is like making a comment in Adobe. Perhaps it is just more complicated than that.

Also, I have not actually tried the OneNote conversion software yet. I have it downloaded, and I can definitely see some benefits from that, especially since I just discovered a math input editor on Windows 7 that converts handwritten math into typed equations. So I plan to play around with this more in the near future. I'll report back here with anything I find.
