Alyson, the Kindle offers a clipping and note-taking function. You can highlight a portion of the existing text, clip text to a "clippings file" and add your own annotations -- kind of like writing in the margins of a paper book. The highlights and notes are kept in a side file attached to the main book file, and the Kindle allows you to navigate from one highlight/annotation to the next. Highlighted text, clippings, and your notes also wind up in a text file named "My Clippings.txt" which you can transfer to your PC and then open up in any text editor.
Now, to edit the MobiPocket books, I suspect that you need to go back to the HTML files that were used as input to create the book -- you did say that these are MobiPocket books that you created -- and then apply the corrections that you noted when you were proofreading the book. Rebuild the book with the updated file(s). I don't know of any program that allows you to directly edit the MobiPocket file. But, there are people around here who are a lot smarter than I am, so perhaps they will know of a way.
