I annotate my Kindle books as well. But at least twice now, I've lost all my annotations because the publisher "updates" the book.
I'm sure that problem won't exist forever (and it doesn't exist for titles that are never updated). But it certainly reduces my trust in the platform. Which reduces how much I take advantage of it.
- tspiteri 7y agoAutomatic updates can be turned off. Under Manage Your Content and Devices, Preferences, there is an Automatic Book Updates item which you can turn off. Then if you want you can update books individually, or not.
- dfc 7y agoI had no idea updates could erase highlights. I apologise for being lazy but do you know if all updates will erase highlights?
- robfitz 7y agoThey do, yeah. As an author I'm desperate to get into a continuous deployment/iteration cycle for books, but the fact that kindle works this way really discourages it.
