Sadly, it only allows about 9 bookmarks, which would not have been enough to mark all the important passages in the 700 page book I was studying.

You can copy the "My Clippings" file to your computer for editing, printing, etc.

Elsi,
I was reading that in the Kindle's Owner's Manual after my original post, Sadly I do not have a kindle, AH THE DRAMA, I really have been kicking it around but I was hoping for a much easier on the eyes Kindle 2.0 before taking that leap. I have a bad history of picking the losing format when a new technology comes out. i.e. HD DVD instead of Blu-Ray so if the PRS 505 goes under I can add another one to my list. (Anyone want to trade a very slightly used 505 for a Kindle?) Just kidding!! no seriously, I DONT KNOW. THe insanity of it all.
