It seems that Amazon has listened to their customers’ feedback. They created a great microsite, kindle.amazon.com, for managing your Kindle’s notes and highlights. On this site you can:

1. View a list of all books you purchased from Amazon.com for your Kindle
2. Review all notes and highlights for books purchased from Amazon. Note that you will not see notes for content that you have added manually via usb :(
3. Rate all of your books
4. See user comments and other details

Here is the email announcing the microsite:

Our customers have told us that they love being able to add highlights and notes to their Kindle books. We want to make it possible for you to access your highlights and notes directly from a Web browser too. So we’ve released http://kindle.amazon.com, an online tool that enables you to do just that.

To try it out, go to http://kindle.amazon.com, sign in with your Amazon account, and simply select one of your books where you have added highlights or notes.

We hope you enjoy this new feature. If you have feedback please send it to us at amazonkindle-feedback@amazon.com.

Here’s a few screenshots of the site:

Amazon notes that if the site is missing notes or highlights that you know you have made then do the following on your Kindle:

These are the highlights or notes that you added to this book. If you added highlights or notes and you don’t see them here, then do the following:

If you have a Kindle (1st Generation) then from your Home screen choose MENU and select “Check for New Items”.

If you have a Kindle (2nd Generation) then from your Home screen choose MENU and select “Sync & Check for Items”.

I just finished my introductory article for my series on the future of printing and imaging. This is the first in a seriese describing the future of printing and what it means for print manufacturers like BIG Images and the designers who create the artwork.

Yesterday Steve Balmer made an interesting claim that Linux is a bigger competitor than Apple. I would not have guessed that, but his pretty graph illustrates the proof.
