That is actually not true -

Oh and this - "Speaking of highlights: Amazon has no graceful option to update books. Updating a book, in Amazon’s world, is the digital equivalent of handing you a new book, then burning your old one. Hope you didn’t have any notes or highlights in there."
Hey that's actually not true. I beg the author to please provide examples and scenarios. Amazon goes to great lengths to not impact the reader by erasing their notes.
- hysan 12y agoIt could have been true at the time of the post though. You can't tell from the post, but the article was put up on Dec. 15, 2014 so writing occurred before then (I have his blog in my rss reader). The Bookerly font, from my short searching, was released that same month on limited devices and was not pushed out to the Voyage until January (time of your linked post).
- kemayo 12y agoI'd suspect that the notes issue might be true when you're updating a side-loaded book (or possibly even one that you've uploaded to Documents, since the only way to update those is to delete them and upload a new version).
