If you'e right, Sue, that's good to know. I was under the impression that the Comments space was for scanners to put notes for validators, and that the Comments didn't go with the book once it went into the collection -- that the only way a reader would get to see any comments would be if we added them to the long synopsis. Of course, I haven't downloaded any books from the collection. Have you downloaded books from the collection to read that have had comments? If what you say is the case, I'll be very happy.
