tags, text and clipping/notes

I wish the Kindle documents supported "fancy" quotes - the typographer's single and double quotes that curve.  Or at least if they were in the document, would just display something normal.  Don't get me started on three different dashes - regular, em-dash and I can't tell what kind of dash.  And only one displays normally.....
I wish the bold and italic tags worked.  I've found the BR tag more handy than the p and /p combinations.

I've discovered if I save my files as .html and open them in my web browser, I can see where these wacky characters are before I upload/convert them to the Kindle. 

I wish the clippings files were specific - one per book.  That way I could delete all the clippings for one "book" when I remove that book.  I see this file growing out of control over time.  Especially this first semester.
