Down with Amazon Kindle's Clipping Limit - The reason I bought books was to annotate them electronically

This is why we can't be friends Amazon.  You sold me on the future of reading and you actually delivered.  Now just bring the publishers in line.  Restore my ability to digitally annotate and (for chrissake ADVERTISE your books for you to my readers)!  I enjoyed this book.  I enjoyed marking it.  I'd enjoy sharing it.  I'm not trying to steal it. I already bought both the hard copy and the electronic copy. I'm dedicated.  Why does the publisher hate me?  I'm just a reader.  I love to read.  I love to mark things. (I also hate it that you're so lazy amazon.  You're so lazy you won't let me annotate sample content, probably because you're too lazy to write code to transfer the notes to the paid version of the book.  Maybe you're trying to say that annotation is a feature you get when you pay for the book, which I did.  Now give me my feature.  Give me my annotation.)

Sharing Not Supported: How Amazon bowed to publishers and destroyed the Kindle

Amazon.  For every advantage the technology gives you, I can't believe you let the publishers take it from you.  I just finished reading Stephen King's brilliant 11/22/63.  When I reached the end of the book, I was offered the chance to tweet that I had finished the book, adding a link to the book and essentially advertising the book and the Kindle that I used to read it.  I said okay.  It then responded with the error message that has been the bane of my kindle existance:  SHARING NOT SUPPORTED.

Why Amazon?  Why did you even bother making an electronic book if you planned to take everything that made it new and exciting away?  Sure I could tweet excerpts from the book and share my progress as I read it, but I wouldn't be able to use my kindle's built in wifi and keyboard and the technological ability to do so, because Amazon, once a marketplace, now a technology company gave that technology away to the short-sighted publishers who will not exist in a few years.  They gave it away.  They allowed them to lock the books and keep them away from the modern features that could keep them alive.  They said you may pay for the book, you may pay for the reader, but if you want to share a quote or announce that you finished the book, you can't.  Book Publishers are afraid of the future and afraid of technology and instead of convincing them that they were wrong, Amazon just went along with it and destroyed the Kindle.
