Many people, including me, want to be able to use an e-reader for more than “casual” or “leisure” reading. We want our e-reader to help us professionally and academically. We want to be able to highlight portions of a book and not have to retype what we have highlighted. The 100 character limit on Sony e-readers must be addressed.
And we want to be able to cite what we have highlighted and have a page number for our reference. Ebooks need to have corresponding page numbers to hard copies. Is that asking too much?
I am aware that publishers and authors are concerned about books being illegally copied and distributed. Surely somebody can come up with a solution and we can all be happy.
Glad to find this forum. I hope Sony addresses the problem. If not, I hope someone will provide a work around.
