You are welcome.

And so, I'm noticing, for example, that MapleRead does not support more than a single highlight color – and that would be a show-stopper for me. One of the best things about Hyphen is the range of 8 various highlight colors – I could certainly meaningfully employ all of them. (Marvin offers 6 highlight colors, which is not quite as impressive a range, but still OK.)

On the contrary, I prefer MapleRead's
unconventional note management system with 3 priority levels and unrestricted number of note lists per book over the
conventional multiple but restricted number of highlight colors of iBooks, Hyphen, Marvin, etc. For casual highlighting, one (user-definable) color is enough for me. For serious highlighting, I used to use different colors to indicate the relative importance/priority of each note; with MapleRead, I can simply use its priority system directly without remember my own color encoding scheme in my head. It's also more portable when I email my notes to a friend or colleague to tell the priority, especially when she prefers a different highlight coloring scheme than mine. Finally, when there are different types of notes, say, some for proof-reading, some for rebuttal, etc., I like the fact that I can create different note list named explicitly "proof-reading", "rebuttal", etc. In conclusion, MapleRead's note system is far more powerful than your average ereader note system.
