Hi folks,

I know scribble on PDF is supposed to be out in the next release. But my question is (not having one of these nifty devices yet) can you scribble notes on non-PDF files? e.g. if I get an HTML or RTF formatted book, can I scribble notes on that? Would the notes be stored as a separate object, i.e. an annotation, as opposed to modifying the original?

Thanks,

The only thing you can scribble on are bitmaps in the notes directory. No ebook annotations are supported.

Also, other than my own personal iLiad, I don't think anyone is reading RTF's on the iLiad right now. :)

That's right ... stock iLiad's don't support RTF files do they? I'd forgotten about that.

Silly me. :p I sometimes forget now what is supposet to ship with the iLiad and what one could potentially do with it if one had all Scotty1024's stuff installed.
