That is the common technique. Here's a simple summary of those I know:

pdfedit - tool to alter the contents of a PDF. Very heavy demands on the computer and not so easy to use, in my experience.

Okular - KDE program, allows drawing in a separate layer on top, including highlights and such. The KDE integration makes for a lot of dependencies. What annotations you make (Review tool) are saved separately, but I don't know where nor how to export them.

Xournal - Gtk+ based note taking program designed for pen equipped computers. Requires poppler for PDF support, already used by pdfviewer, and Gtk+, already used by Midori webbrowser. Supports exporting its annotations as a merged PDF file. EvilDragon recorded a quick Xournal demonstration on the Pandora handheld, which is also ARM-based.

I would like to know of others.

Edit: Sorry for the duplicate information above. I had forgotten that I already posted these in this thread. Anyhow, the new info is that porting xournal should be fairly easy - but I haven't yet found the sources for midori for pocketbook. Getting it to update as smoothly as scribble does may take a little more time.

I really want the new SDK, because the one I have (15.1) doesn't seem to work for my 903.
