Welcome to mobileread! I share your sentiments about limitations of the 600's note taking/annotation features. However, I think it was designed more for casual reading and annotation. You'll probably have to look at some of the larger, more expensive e-readers for in-class notetaking and serious academic/technical reading. Have you already seen The famous eBook Reader Matrix? https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_Reader_Matrix
