Answers.Text: great creativity to switch to a browser. I'll have to look into that interface and play with it. I think if I'm just in the mobile app interface I can highlight and make a manual note to self of the highlight's incompleteness and direct myself to extend it or merge it in the browser at a latter date. Would be nice if Google extended the notes interface to manually merge two highlights.
