spent a few hours highlighting important concepts in a book.  discovered an update was available for the ipad after I quit reading.  ran the update and all highlights are now gone.  must re-read the chapters and take notes the old fashioned way i suppose.  is this a glitch or am I just unlucky?

    Sorry Mike. My guess is that the highlights didn't have a chance to sync to the servers. Sometimes you have to force a sync by killing the app in the multitask bar.

    Sometimes there is a time span after a re-install of the application before all the metadata and highlightings are synced. Did you give it enough time?

    I suspect you are correct.  It must not have been able to sync.  lesson learned, I guess.  thanks.
