I didn't know that! I thought they were only overwritten with a firmware update... I only use syncing for Pocket but I wouldn't want to stop using that.
Hope that something really happens on that front, it's annoying that with all the restrictions (ecosystem, hyphenation, etc), Kindle is still the most reader-friendly device in terms of features...
I wish Kobo would actually take a page out of that book and try to compete on hardware differences alone... It really annoys me the most when features are poorly executed and are therefore mere additions to the comparison table checklist...
Still love my H2O for plain and simple reading, because custom fonts and the hack make it the most book-like (that is, least unobtrusive) device of all devices out there...
