some generic questions

I've been looking for a portable e-reader device that'll natively view PDF's and allow me to do things like take notes, highlight, underline etc., and the eDGe seems to be the perfect device for this purpose. However, before I make a final decision, I do have some questions.

Some of these questions, have appeared before, but since there was some updates since they were asked, I hope people don't mind them being asked again with these updates in mind

1. How does the eInk side work with dual column PDFs (such as scientific papers)? There was a problem I saw where annotations made to one column would not stay there, and when you moved to the other the annotations would move with it. Has this issue been resolved?

2. Will the annotations still stay on PDF when I move it off of the eDGe? For example, if I made hand written corrections to a rough draft, can others see these corrections? There were some posts about the PDF annotations being saved as a graphic, but there were some resolution issues.

3. How easy is it to move data from the eDGe to a laptop and vice versa? Things such as PDFs, music etc.

4. How scratch resistant is the screen? Will scuffs eventually show up, and if so, how quickly?

5. How is the PDF viewing and note taking on the pocket version?

6. Is there a way to hook it up to a monitor or a projector for presentations?
