Hello,

I know with acrobat reader there's a lot issues with highlighting text in a pdf, especially when document rights aren't enabled (which is the case in most pdfs i receive)!

I also know that only a few ebookreaders support highlighting text in a proper way.

On the website below, I read that with the Kindle 2 you can read pdfs AND it's possible to highlight text (which are both apparently new features for the kindle 2) (in another topic i read that the kindle DX can even not highlight text).

So, can someone confirm that the highlighting text in pdf's properly works with the kindle 2, even for pdf's with "no document rights enabled" (so that I don't have the same problem as in acrobat reader)?

I'm really interested in buying the kindle ebookreader, but highlighting text in pdf's is really a requirement for me! So I really want that I have no issues with highlighting text in pdf's!

Thank you very much.
