And that is EXACTLY the problem! For every single book I buy on Amazon I get probably 15-20 free PD books from other sources.

I know all about "marketing" but I guess my thinking is weird. If I were going to write a reader app (Kindle for Mac, Kindle for iPad) where the user can highlight and make notes, I'd see that the annotations file was transferable from device to device, and that they worked for any book that the app will open (even free books). But that's just me.....

And I'm not just picking on Amazon.... I don't understand how some kids can come up with FaceBook and store and "sync" zillions of "blurbs" and pictures that transfer and work on ANY device, but no company can can up with a reader app that syncs a few notes across various platforms.....

Yes, I know... I'm ranting... please forgive me.
