* The Activity has an annotation feature that enables the user to attach notes to pages in the text.  These annotations are stored in a pickle file that is included in the Zip file containing the document.  When you share a document your annotations will go along with it.  For the recipient it will be sort of like buying a used textbook that has all the important stuff already marked up.

* The Activity supports multiple bookmarks in a document, and easy navigating between them. This is in addition to the current feature that remembers where you left off when you last read a document.

* The Activity supports highlightings passages in text.  The highlight is shown as a yellow background (like a hi-lighter pen would make) plus a single underline.  You can highlight multiple passages on a page.

* Word wrap is supported for those text documents that require it.  Read Etexts considers a line of text to be no more than 80 characters, so a page break is calculated based on how many 80 character strings will fit in the paragraphs, plus one.  A page will not break in the middle of a paragraph, so not every page is the same number of lines.
