Good to know, thanks for clarifying. I was looking at the Pocketbook android app this afternoon, for other reasons, and thinking it had some nice functionality. Then I noticed the Inkpad 3 on their site and thought "Hmmm, despite my recently getting soured on e-ink devices (due to a subpar experience with a Kobo Clara), maybe I should reconsider?" If I could have a premium e-ink device, plus an android app that runs well on my phone, and a PC browser-based app, all of which would sync books, notes and all details to a single cloud, that would be quite an advantage and I'd consider it seriously.

However, the flies in the ointment are: (1) I still see a fair number of issues and user dissatisfaction reported here in MobileRead about the Inkpad 3 hardware and software, and (2) This issue about the software and only part of the annotations data syncing to their cloud. Once again, this issue underscores the extremely limited software support and functionality for e-ink devices, and the lack of seamless interop between e-ink hardware and other platforms like android, pc, and ios. Kinda' confirms my inclination to avoid e-ink and stick with android, for mobile reading.
