The only problem with digital copies like this is that I can't underline. Maybe it's just the habit of underlining, but I can't read as well (academic reading) when I can't underline key points, specific words, and particularly interesting passages.



I've found Preview's (Mac; built in) annotate feature to be a great portable way to highlight inside PDFs.


I agree that Preview's annotate feature works well. Still, there something about the physical process of underlining words that helps me connect ideas together as I'm reading.


I may be wrong, but I believe there's a feature in Kinde 2 DX that allows you to do that.


Not sure about underlining, but highlighting and annotating has been there since Kindle 1.


the DX cannot highlight or annotate pdf files, at least not currently.
