I tried reading a downloaded version of the Mysteries of Udolpho, pasting to a .txt file and making notes there, but I finally gave up an just bought the book (which is now incredibly dog-eared and scribbled-upon). I realize that this what I described above is way less sophisticated than the Kindle. Ultimately, my attitude is old-fashioned and marginal. I get that. Future versions of the Kindle may or may not be for me, but it is unfortunate that people are so eager to dismiss technology out-of-hand. Light bulbs, telephones, cars, you name it. The first versions of everything are flawed.
