Hi. New to the forum, and interested to read the informative and friendly posts.

I'm thinking of getting an ereader, and it comes down to a choice between the Kindle and the E65. However, the E65 has what appears to be the clinching feature for me, the ability to annotate files onscreen.

I regularly travel to London lugging heavy documents and a netbook, and onscreen annotations would be a real backsaver.

So - does it work?? Can you annotate pdf files as well as epub files? How are the notes saved? Can you transfer them to, and print from, a PC?

If the answers are positive, the E65's my dream machine, if not... mmm.

Hang on and hope the next Kindle might offer those features? Or get a tablet? I'm very reluctant to shell out £400-500 on a machine that I will, inevitably and catastrophically, drop/lose/leave on the train/have stolen at some point.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
