Of course you know I'm joking (though I do like Libronix).
Yesterday I wanted a William Dever title; for some odd reason Logos is Dever-free (as a resource author).
So I went to Amazon, downloaded the Kindle reader, the book, and started reading. That's when I decided to limit my PC-Kindle purchases. Maybe I've read too many PDF's or used Logos one too many times.
First, I couldn't scroll back up a bit to catch the previous sentences; it was all or nothing paging. The expansive table of contents in Logos and my PDF reader was gone (just a simple all/nothing one). Every time I used my mouse to highlight, and accidentally got it off-text, suddenly I was on a new page. And even odder, with the touch screen tablet view, the scroll paging can't be used, absent a complete disaster. Hit the 'back' button quick. Then there's the 'busy' mouse icon when you're over the menuing area. Huh?
Now I KNOW the Amazon developers are really smart. I'm also well aware the Kindle is just that (a stand-alone reader). The PC version is simply a convenience. But the question all goes back to 'selling books'? or 'creating a clean look'? I see that same behavior in Logos4, though not even remotely as bad.
Which of course underlines my oft-stated claim about Libronix ... just a nice piece of software development (and Logos4 too).

Haven't used Kindle on PC.
Have/do use it on iPad, and it allows some of the functionality you mention. For example, it is quite easy to use the navigation button to GoTo a previous Location to capture, for eample, and entire paragraph instead of scrolling; this allows a single highlight/note.
One thing to remember about Kindle, is that, there is no page #’s, so if your reading a book that is referenced, or even referencing itself, there is no way of knowing where the reference is, since there is no hyperlinks.

Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.
The newer titles on Kindle do have pg# but even with that I prefer Vyrso. I like the sharing feature for Fscebook + Twitter in the Kindle iPad app but more often than not if I want to share a longer quote it gets cut off, I don't have that problem with either the Logos or Faithlife app when I share (Vyrso doesn't either I just don't use it now that the definition for English words showed up in Logos iOS app).
