That doesn't work too well when you're dealing with an ebook that has a different document for each chapter...especially if it's an omnibus with over a hundred chapters total!

I don't make lengthy notes, either. I usually highlight a few words and add a note like "ch18 - no dash" or "bk2ch3 - Smith's" that tells me where the error is and what the fix is. Then, when I'm done or at least come to a convenient place, I can pull up the annotations and go through 'em all in just a few minutes. Open the document, search for the highlighted text, make the change, save, rinse and repeat.

ETA - Back on-topic: I had a zombie annotation list pop up last night that was apparently related to the sleep function. Overall sequence:

1. Power up.
2. Open book normally and go to annotations list.
3. Delete annotations one by one (as I'm fixing the copy of the book stored on my computer).
4. Close empty annotations page and power down.
5. (a few hours later) Power up.
6. Open book normally, read a chapter.
7. Use slider to trigger sleep mode.
8. Sleep mode times out and device powers down.
9. (later still) Power up.
10. Book's tile shows the same annotations that it had at step 2.
11. Delete annotations, read a chapter, and exit to home screen.
12. Tile shows no annotations.

At this point, I don't know whether the annotations are gone for good or waiting to come back again.
