Rita, all your notes will be in one file – a Clippings.txt file. When you are in a book, then you can refer to all notes for that book. However, there is no separate file you can access on your PC with all your notes. You can also go online (I forget the exact url, perhaps kindle.amazon.com) and access your notes there.

Some books have limits on how much of the book you can highlight. I don’t think there are limits on amount of notes but I’m not sure.

I take notes when reading. Will all my notes be on the same “clippings” page or will my notes be under the book they are referring to.? and Is there a limit to the amount of notes I take ?

Rahn, unfortunately there isn’t a way to disable 3G. It would have been great to have an on/off option.

Is it possible to disable 3G so that it won’t automatically activate when out of Wi-Fi range?

I would prefer to manually toggle the 3G on/off feature if possible.

Thanks for your input and your valuable service.

No idea. Books in spanish are supported. The collection is slowly growing. Not sure when the interface etc. will be available in Spanish.

Hi, just have to tell you that I have now had my Kindle 3 for about a month, and am really enjoying it! I have learned many things about what I can do with my Kindle, the newest being that I can access my email through a Google “gmail” account, Google news of the day and other interesting information, and more.
Friends at home are heading down to Buffalo NY (closest US city to us) to try and buy their own.
Thanks to you all for your comments and replies (above). I have found them all very informative and helpful.

Atom: “I’ve purchased a bunch of nonfiction ebooks from Amazon. In every case, the ebook book eliminated some of the maps, pictures and illustrations that are included in the hardcopy, or used incredibly small, low resolution versions of them that are worthless. Why is that?”

Switch11: “It’s probably size. There’s probably some figure they have on how many times a book is going to be downloaded during a Kindle owner’s use of it. Let’s say it’s 4 times. If the file is 2 MB then they have to pay for 8 MB of data transfers. If the file is 7 MB they have to pay for 28 MB of data transfer.”

They shouldn’t be pennywise in that fashion. (Omitting or thumbnailing graphics and maps in nonfiction.) If it’s really a significant cost to them, they should allow book buyers who are disappointed with the cut-down graphics to order them before or afterwards, by paying $1 (say) extra. If bought afterwards they’d be melded into the book by amazon’s software.
