The Kindle allows you to highlight text quite simply. While it's not touch highlighting (you use the arrows and the cursor clicking center once to start highlighting moving the cursor to the end of your highlight and clicking a second time.) in my opinion it's superior to Sony's highlighting. It syncs across platforms. It provides on the fly definitions from highlighted items, and it allows you to save those highlighted items into bulleted cliff notes for later use.

Where does it go when it syncs? I've been wanting to get my highlights on my phone and on my desktop client but can't find them on either.

Just how awful is Kindle 3 PDF support? I saw that Kindle 2 would be $90 tomorrow...then did some more research, and I figure it's about time I pull the trigger on a Kindle, it looks great.

But, my primary content would be PDFs (including some textbooks), which may or may not be just huge image after huge image, and if that falls apart entirely, not too interested then.

I guess my main question is: what reader should I choose for primarily viewing "medium" complexity PDFs? Please don't say netbook. :(

It's slow and never formats the correct width for the screen. I converted a few PDFs this weekend with Calibre though, and they all look great on the Kindle 2, Kindle 3, and Nook that I put the converted files onto.

Okay this is really pissing me off, I need to get my Kindle updated to 3.0.2 from 3.0.1 but I can't find the update anywhere because Amazon is only posting their preview for 3.0.3. Is there a link floating around somebody can point me to? I've got lockups like whoa.

Edit: And of course found it 2 seconds after posting
