The Kindle notes (and clippings) are stored in a plain text file, so these are in principle portable to a non-Kindle. However, the Kindle's address scheme for where the note is placed in the ebook is specific to the Kindle.

wallcraft, that was a great answer. Thank you.

I guess my only consideration at this point then would be if it's worth the move to a Sony reader (really the only other brand I am considering) for the SDHC cards available to expand memory. (I'm not a big fan of touchscreens, but I do like the wireless. Sony doesn't offer no-touchscreen + wireless).

I guess that's a conversation for another post.

Thanks again!!
