I'm thinking of getting an e-reader, and I was wondering if y'all could help me choose one, since you are readerly types. As you know, I love to write. My personal library serves as my inspiration for a lot of my stories, as well as being a wonderful research tool. I would want the same features from an e-reader. To that end:
1) I want to be able to take notes on anything that comes into my brain while reading, and then transfer those notes to my (Apple) laptop to expand them into stories.
2) I want to be able to search the text of a book/document for key words and phrases.
Does anyone know if any of the e-readers currently available on the market have these features? I've been looking at the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook, which seem to be among the best and the least costly, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if they'll serve my purposes.
