Thanks for the feeback.

I use PDf PURELY for reading on various devices—BeBook, Sony Reader, Kobo and Kindle. I keep the others becase I know I will sit on the Kindle at one point and let out all the magic black/white balls.

All my eBooks are stored in DOCX fromat, so that if anybody gets the bright idea to create a 16*9 format eInk device (more approximating dead tree format) I can reformat my 1000+ books to a new device.

Because most of the books I've been reading are from scanned dead tree books I might get a couple of hundred 'Notes' per book, so using the Kindle intself to go through all those notes would take hours. With my app I select the book, parse the mighlights file, open the document, find the highlighted test (most of the time) fix it nad move on to the nest.

I have experimented with the .pds file but cannot decode it (the suggested [sidecare] web site doesn't exist anymore on the format).

I realize that the text file is just a sequential log, but at least in the OLD days I had a choice on whether to store the entry or not. Amazon have decide 'no more'.

I have left feedback with Amazon on my complaints about their NEW features. I don't expect any response.

Cheers
Phil.
