On a Kindle, every time the wireless is turned on, Amazon makes a copy of the notes and clippings that have been made.
This is a double-edged sword. If you have a system failure and lose your notes, they can always be retrieved from the Kindle account. This is a big plus!
The other side of this coin is the lack of privacy. If Amazon has my personal notes and clippings, others can obtain them as well, either by hacking or court order.
