Chegg Launches Mobile Reader For Online Textbooks

This may be overshadowed by whatever Apple is coming up with, but there's a story on TechCrunch about Chegg's textbook reader webapp for mobile devices.
On top of the basic functionality — letting you buy or rent textbooks to read via an internet-connected device — it includes a way to highlight and save text, write notes in the margins, write notes for any page, and view all of these annotations in an aggregated view. So you could read and mark up a chapter, and then go check out what you noted later on when you’re studying for a final.
Video and screenshots are on TechCrunch.
