Thank you for your insights. It's not something that I'd really notice. Back on the Palm Pilot, I had bookmarked a few things once. I never used the bookmarks again. As such, I never really bothered exploring the bookmark features of eReader (or the lack thereof in the Kindle). Certainly, I'd much rather use the eReader app than the Kindle app. If the content is available on both and even close in price (or some content worth paying more for), then I'd definitely get it on eReader. There are many times that I wish I had bookmarked something in eReader. But, the search feature has always bailed me out. The Kindle having neither is terrible. Interesting.

I think you have it right and thank you for that. Still, I believe you leave out a couple of other significant advantages of eReader. One, the ease of removing bookmarks if they no longer are needed. But more important are the abilities to create notes, copy text into them, and to write commentary of any length. There is nothing like those abilities in Kindle and I have been surprised and disappointed that so few have noted the advantages that each of us has observed. My disappointment, and sympathy for eReader, has been greatest with respect to Walt Mossberg who gives only the shortest shrift to eReader. It is true, as he has noted, that many more books are available on Kindle than eReader; yet whenever a book is available on both I always will get it from eReader. Of course, much of the greatest of 20th century english literature is not available on either: Bellow, Hemingway, Roth, and on and on I was interested in your observations on Kindle app relative to eReader.
