ok, a breif update, as I have been playing around with it a bit. Sometimes the app does not start, I wonder whether it happens when there are no files in the "My pictures" directory.

At any rate, a simple way to organise different documents that you may care to annotate at different points in time is to have a huge "picture taking session" where you take images of all the pages in all the documents you want.

Then, linking the device to the pc, you reate various subdirectories of the "My pictures" directory on the device, one for each document, and put there the relative images.

Scribble automatically opens the sequence of pictures in the "My pictures" directory (does not see the subdirectories), so what you do is then copy the files you want to annotate from the relevant subdirectory into the "My Pictures" root. Disconnect, open scribble, and your document will be loaded. Once you are done, re-connect to the pc, move the annotated pictures back into their subdirectory, and move in the root another document, and so on.

If you have long papers it might take a while to take the pictures, but you will then be able to annotate - of course, you have to zoom at the level you like before taking the image, as scribble cannot zoom (as far as I can see).

Review, thanks a lot!
