You're extrapolating from a specific setup at a specific company--one that will change in time.
i have nothing else to go on. and i have no indication of the way -- if any -- that it "will change in time"... nothing technical has been written up. unlike many open-source programs, this one would appear to be being developed in secret. nothing technical about the app is written up... and while i'm quite happy to wait until the capability actually appears in an app that runs on my machine, so i can see what it does and exactly how it does it, you meanwhile are busy spewing glowing p.r.-speak. which, when you "answer" a hard question, turns to mush. if you can put a link in an e-mail here that takes a user to a comment that has been made in an osoft e-book -- let's say the one that i made in the "my antonia" demo -- then do it. otherwise, admit that -- at this point in time, with that e-book, anyway -- that capability is not present. or not. the answer here is of little or no consequence, because whether the annotations are viewable with an ordinary web-browser or not, the capability to code it (either way) is rather elementary to implement, which is the point that i made at the outset. if you'd like to see a demo program demonstrating the ease with which this can be done, i would be willing to code one up for you... but you don't really want me to steal dotreader thunder, do you? why not let mark carey roll out his version first? -bowerbird
