thought you might like Sony's take on this issue. This is part of a transcript from online help:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Problem : export of highlighted text cuts off everything after about 100 characters
George_ > Thanks for waiting, Grant. I'm sorry that the exporting the highlighted text cuts off about 100 characters in the Reader. I’ll be glad to assist you with this.
Grant > thanks - how do I fix it as 100 characters is rarely a whole sentence, yet alone enough for a quote from a journal article
George_ > I understand that about 100 characters are cutting down while exproting the highlighted text. Is that correct?
Grant > fromt he highlighted passage, only the first 100 characters are actually exported. the balance of the highlighted passage is left off
...
Grant > I assume there is a setting somewhere that needs to be altered as it is too absurd to be a limitation on the program itself
George_ > Does it happen with all the eBooks?
...
Grant > happens with all types of files
Grant > can you open your copy of the reader software, choose a book, highlight a passage and then hit the export button and see if it happens for you
George_ > Please give me a moment while I get this information for you.
...
George_ > Grant, this is a normal operation in the Reader.
Grant > what do you mean 'normal'?
George_ > Only 100 characters can be highlighted and can be exported in the Reader.
Grant > Are you saying it was designed to have this bizarre limitation
George_ > If more than 100 characters are highlighted, only the first 100 characters will be exported.
George_ > Yes, Grant.
Grant > so it was designed to have this bizare limitation
George_ > Yes, Grant.
Grant > will it be fixed in the future as it makes the function unusable
...
George_ > I'm sorry, Grant. We are not aware of this being an issue.
Grant > how do I make sony aware of this issue?
George_ > Customer input and response is valuable in the continued support and development of our products.
