I re-read Toe the Line again, this time with an aim toward making this my final edit. I used the Kindle, which is great for reading my little novel, and used it to make notes, which is not great for transcribing edits back to the text. Based on what Amazon told me there is no way to transfer content and notes from the Kindle reader back to a computer. So now I have the Kindle propped on my desk and I'm transcribing from the reader to the text on the computer. Long and arduous doesn't begin to describe it.
Also making this an overwhelming task is the number of edits I made. There are almost 600 notes and corrections in this sucker. I feel sorry for my beta readers. I'm completely embarrassed. 600 notes to transcribe from Reader to Mac. Not fun. I'm up to 10. Gonna be a long few weeks.

That's interesting, because I can see my Kindle highlights in my Amazon account.
Go to kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights
You sign in & bam, there they are.
Oh...is it because it's a PDF, not a book purchased through Amazon?
You guessed it Pamela, it's a personal document. I think I've tried everything to get those suckers to import with the text. If you figure it out, let me know. Thankfully it's one of the few things I don't like. Also, I will say the customer service (although ultimately unhelpful) was prompt and conscientious.
Thanks for commenting. I love to hear from folks.
Do you have the kindle with the keypad? Ive given up on attempting to type with the regular kindle. :S BTW weren't you going to let me read your novel? Im ALMOST done with my first edit of Nano 2010 (aka making it suck slightly less and Im not looking forward to transcribing the countless edits). lol ~Lindsay (aka CoffeeChick)
