Hello all,

I am a scientist looking for the (elusive) 9.7 ereader with good annotation capabilities. I have long waited for a good such product, refraining to buy one in the hope that a good product might appear on the market soon.

First the news: Another 9.7 reader, the Hanlin V90 seems to be on sale in Europe, for some reason in the Czech Republic, e.g. at

http://www.digiknihy.cz/jinke-hanlin...z-cpu-skladem/

(use google Chrome if you don't read Czech, I don't; there are other Czech stores that list it).

I haven't seen it in person. The user manual is available at

http://www.jinke.com.cn/Compagesql/E...uct_Manual.pdf

My impression (from comparing the manual to that of V60) is that the software might be very similar to that of V60.

There is a posting from Vladimir Levchenko on the-ebook.org forum (here, in russian) that seems to suggest (at least that's what google translate says

) that it's a fast device. He also posted a video that seems to support this.

Now the questions: since I have no significant experience with any ereader (having played just a little with Kindle 3 and Boox M90) how good are generally Hanlin products w.r.t. hardware/software ? In particular V60 ?

Is there any way to make simple highlights/annotations of pdf documents in Hanlin V60 ? I am not looking for freehand exportable annotations, just something like what you would be able to do in Adobe Digital Editions PC version or Kindle for PC. I am trying to figure out if there is any likelihood of getting that capability soon in the V90.

Best,
Gabi
