Answers.Body: <p>If you use google there is an extension/app for kindle. I am a blogger and I review E books so it is very necessary for me to be able to use notes from a tablet to my pc and even on my phone. I have authors send me ARC books to review all the time. Use the app to send yourself the book in a pdf file. There are several free conversion sites online you can use and it just takes a second.</p>
  <p>Just download the free app to everything you need it on including your PC and in setting activate the  Whispersync technology option. This makes your notes and books available on every device. Also you can send notes from your laptop to your kindle. Here is the link to the <a href="https://read.amazon.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Kindle PC</a> version
  here is the description of the app from <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kindle-cloud-reader/icdipabjmbhpdkjaihfjoikhjjeneebd?hl=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google Chrome Web Store</a></p>
  <p>Kindle Cloud Reader - Read Kindle books in your browser, and shop on Amazon.com.
  Kindle Cloud Reader is a web app from Amazon that lets you read your Kindle books, instantly.</p>
  <p>• Customize your reading experience by choosing font size, text color, background color, number of reading columns, and more
  • Create and edit notes, highlights, and bookmarks
  • Our Whispersync technology automatically syncs your furthest page read, notes, and marks across devices, so you can start reading in your browser and pick up where you left off on your Kindle or any device with the Kindle app installed
  • Search inside the book to find a topic, character, or section you want to revisit
  • Look up word definitions and listen to how they are pronounced (available for English only)

  <p>I do not know if you are a Mac user or not, if so I am not familiar with if this is an option via apple or not. If you are a Google Chrome user however, there ya go, Bob's your uncle.</p>

Comments.Text: Amazon just got back to me saying that this feature is not supported at the moment (deliver 3rd party books via amazon site to PC kindle app). Of course, you can just open the 3rd party book but that does not synchronize annotations ... bit of a joke really amazon ...
