New Kindlers, In case you haven’t noticed this yet, your Kindle has two functions which, when used in conjunction with each other, can facilitate content selection and navigation. The two functions:1. you can annotate most items (but not Topaz-formatted items and not native PDF files, on the DX).2. Kindle’s search function will now include your notes when searching for specified content and then produce a list of links to those notes (!)Your notes are stored in secondary files, one for each item, and they are also copied into the sequentially-built "My Clippings" file. Imaginative use of these facilities will enable you to organize your items (by tagging them), quickly navigate between documents you’re currently reading and mark the clippings you’ve saved so they can be easily retrieved later. It seems that Kindle developers added the capability of searching our notes without fanfare after some of us requested this back in 2008, and it would be a terrible shame for new users not to take advantage. lg
