Thanks Zack, this is awesome. I may just start reading all of my books this way and taking notes.
Thanks so much for the info.

I have just tested the feature, and it works very well indeed. You can write notes, and later go to them easily. The one thing it doesn't seem to do is to announce notes as you read continuously, which could probably get a little jarring. HOpe this helps, Zack.
