Bogdan, first of all, there has been no statement from PocketBook staff about annotation, so basically half of this thread is speculating and trolling (some try to demonstrate why annotating a pdf is not technically possible and some who try to demonstrate that it is). What I would like to see is someone from PocketBook explain what kind of annotation will the 903 have and why. Until that, I prefer to be silent.
Anyway, the e-reader market is not a mature market. If you want something that suits your needs NOW, get an iPad or a tablet. There is no perfect e-reader and it depends what you compromises do you want to make. The major producers (Amazon, Barnes and Noble) have devices aimed just at reading and minor producers are not that reliable (see iRex for example, I'm not familiar with other cases, I'm not saying something bad about PocketBook). Also, if you still want eInk you might consider Entourage Edge, but I have no clue on how the **** you would get it in Romania.
Comparing iPad with e-readers is a bit far-fetched because of different technologies and different purposes, I like eInk for reading even though big screen devices are expensive and sometimes I use it for academic work (basically reading articles, did not venture into annotation).
