I'd not checked this out as far a...Anonymous,<br /> I'd not checked this out as far as length of note because with the Kindle 2 and the DX's, which are using (just updated this week) software version 2.57 (the Kindle 3 has v3.0.x), there was no limit that I'd reached with earlier Kindles -- but I never copied that much either. However, I always copied more than 3 lines. <br /><br /> But you're absolutely right that with the Kindle 3 software, they've limited it to 3 lines when you copy a highlighted passage TO a Kindle note.<br /><br /> I guess a different team worked on the new Webkit browser used on the Kindle 3 and decided to do that. Bizarre. I hope they don't carry that over to the older 2.5.x series, but probably they won't, since they JUST updated v2.5.x this week.<br /><br /> I guess, for a workaround on Kindle 3 just highlight the amount you want from the current pages, a copy of which will go into the "My Clipping" file anyway without the 3-line restriction, and then add a note -- and they'll show up in the same spot when you're reviewing your notes...<br /><br />OTHER tests:<br />Facebook-sharing (a Kindle feature)<br /> When I highlight a couple of paragraphs (of the same material) and 'share' it on Facebook with an attached short note we can add, it allowed more than 3 lines.<br /><br /> However, there was a limit to that also, though it's a more reasonable one. You can see that at <a href="http://bit.ly/sharelimits" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/sharelimits</a>.<br /><br /> This was true for both the older and newer Kindles.<br /><br />My Annotations webpage on Amazon<br /> THEN I went to my private password-protected annotates webpage that we all have (if we allow backup of annotations in Settings) and checked the highlighting and note. There, the entire highlighted section shows up, along with the short note that goes with it when doing the sharing on Facebook.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-17847350624484540362011-01-10T22:39:01.583-08:002011-01-10T22:39:01.583-08:00nice tips!..thank you..

I've test it with an Instapaper sync publication and with a PDF document. Is that the usual behaviour?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
