Notes, Notings, and Common Refrains

I like the Kindle cloud app for reading books on a computer screen. Amazon does play a little dirty on this though as you can't copy and paste text. It's not much good if you are trying to quote something in an article / book chapter. Kindles are better as if you highlight they keep a text file you can download (and so do Kobo for that matter actually). The really sneaky thing about Kindles is the way the books download onto your desktop - they have changed the file so it's not readable by Calibre and therefore not convertable (or movable). That can be fixed (for now) but backtracking on the software but it's all not about the user, more about the big corporate giants who want to lock you into their product and make it difficult to use any other.
