I concur. I purchased Adobe Acrobat Professional in order to be able to underline, circle, etc text and now I find myself with (way too expensive) e-books that won't allow me anything. This is completely outrageous. As long as this problem isn't fixed, I refuse to buy any DRM-protected books.
Oh and if Adobe tries to give me the "it's all the fault of the editor!"-excuse: can someone please explain me how marking a text is in conflict with the intellectual property rights on a book? I don't pay for books to have them sit on my hard drive. They are work instruments for me.
With ADE you can add notes and highlight text, by selecting a piece of text and then doing one of:
- Selecting "Add Bookmark" from the Reading menu
- Clicking on the "Add Bookmark" button
- Using the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-B (Windows), Cmd-B (Mac)
