The best solution I could honestly see to keep a degree of sanity is to Wiki each book you wanted to annotate.
Thanks for your note, Brent, and for taking the time to read through the archives. A quick comment on this: PG is more likely to let other folks take care of annotation. Although we have some producer-contributed reviews etc. in some eBooks, we generally look to other sites to host reviews and other editorial content. For example, many of our catalog entries have links to Wikipedia articles for info about authors & titles. It might be that we'll have a "PG metadata"-type project affiliate at some point (see our philosphy/FAQ/about documents for some essays on this type of experimentation & growth). But I don't see adding such content to the eBooks themselves any time soon. Of course, such views could change as the people involved in PG change, and the world continues to change... -- Greg
