Apparently there's a 48-72 hour waiting period (at least) now. So I'm trying to offer a work around for those who want to read it right away. Thanks!

You have to remember that Amazon is still calling this a beta release of the app, with improvements to come. As for searching, I've always wished the actual Kindle would let me just search within a particular book rather than always searching across every book loaded on the device. Right.

Here are my two cents: I've just been using is a little bit and unless I'm missing something, there's no way to highlight or take notes on the PC application. I can see all my notes created elsewhere, but I can't make any new notes or highlights. If the feature is there, then at the very least they need to make it more intuitive because I'm a pretty computer savvy guy but I sure can't find it anywhere. Thanks for the review.
