Why Must Read Living Trusts for Everyone: Why a Will Is Not the Way to Avoid Probate, Protect Heirs, and Settle Estates (Second Edition)?
This applies to the Kindle edition. It wasn't until I was finished with the book and went back to get my highlights that I realized the system had changed with these "export limits."

If had to do it over, I'd buy the cheapest used print version and highlight with a yellow marker. It'd be more complete and easier to refer back into, by going to the relevant chapters. The limits on the highlights will be fine for many books, but for something like this...it's very limiting.
