Hi,

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but I didn't see an answer in other threads. Here's the scoop:

I have a Kindle2. I'd like to be able to transfer my own PDFs (no DRM) onto the Kindle2, annotate them as AZW files (highlight text, add notes) and then get the annotated AZW file off the Kindle2 and convert it back to a PDF complete with all the various annotations. Essentially, I'd like this to be a big loop:

PDF --> AZW --> annotated AZW on Kindle --> annotated PDF on laptop

I'd like to keep all the annotations associated with the text, no matter whether it's in AZW or PDF formats.

I know I can get the 'My Clippings' file off the Kindle and can then extract the highlighted text and notes in a .txt file but what I really want is to keep the PDF with annotations (notes and highlights) intact and in-context.

I hope this makes sense -- any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
-- Mike.
