I know the eBookwise 1150 is currently on sale for $89.95, and I am wanting to check it out, BUT I have some questions to see if this is what I want.

I did recently check out the the Sony 600 that my friend just got, which has the highlight & make notes features, and wanted to know if that was similiar to the 1150...

The sales text says the 1150 can do these features: By simply touching the screen, you can enlarge the text size, bookmark pages, highlight passages, make notes, search for key words and hyperlink to other parts of the book.

A. If you highlight a passage, does it save a "file" that you can go back to review it quickly - how do you find the highlighted text?

B. How do you make notes? Does it give you a screen and a "keypad" to punch the text in & save it?

C. Can you highlight & make notes on user documents (like Word) that has been loaded on reader, or is it just ebooks?

D. How many text sizes are available on the 1150? S-M-L or more?

E. Is the Librarian program needed to use 1150, and how much to purchase if it is?

Any insight/help would be so helpful! Thanks
