It was a bit disappointing that exporting strips text because I initially thought of using eDGe to add comments to PDFs and sync them with those on PC.

That was my plan, too.
I am picking my eDGe up tomorrow. In the mean time, I dug around a little in Acrobat Pro and found that if you keep an originating file in tact on your desktop, you should be able to export your edge file under another name and import your annotations to the original file. I tried this (without the eDGe, of course) and it worked fine. The new annotations merged with the originating file. What you have to be careful about is not to add or delete any pages on either side of the equation or the new annotations won't map properly. It's a workaround at best, but at least it's fairly easy. I hope Entourage can find a solution to this.
What I wasn't able to do was to find a similar solution for bookmarks that might be added on the eDGe. Acrobat Pro (I'm using v8) doesn't seem to export, import or merge bookmarks. So, at this point I'm thinking I might use annotations on the eDGe to indicate any bookmarks I want to add, import them and then create proper bookmarks manually. A bit of work, but better than nothing.
