Two questions:

1. I just got a Kindle Fire, and Amazon (of course) refuses to back-up any highlights or notes from books that one didn't purchase from amazon.com.

Since highlights and notes are the most valuable piece of the book, I need the highlights and notes from all my non-Amazon-purchased books to be backed up somewhere.

I'm wondering if Calibre either backs up highlights and notes currently or plans on doing so in the very near-future.

2. It seems that Calibre doesn't actually "sync" books. They just allow you to manually drag books from your ebook device to your computer and vice versa. Am I missing something here? Why not just create a "sync" button when your device is attached?

Thank you...
