I suppose I could be coaxed into being interested into what other people think is important but 1. I want to read it virgin first, 2. I want to have the choice and last but not least, I want to choose those people rather than have it be any random schmo who also bought the book - especially if it's non-fiction.I have the kindle 3 (non touch screen) and I can turn off the highlighting by pressing the home button, then menu button, selecting "settings", pressing > (page forward) to settings page 2 and then use the directional button to select "turn off" next to popular highlights. Hope that helps - not sure if it's the same on your kindle. There's also a setting on page 3 re: public notes which you may also need to turn off.
