Sorry about this guys; I haven't seen any of the academic annotation queries that have the same priorities that I do (and maybe that's because it's not possible)

I am in school and want a way to take notes on pdfs (for readings and for converted powerpoints) through handwriting. I need to be able to search the handwriting later, and to be able to keep the notes with or linked to the appropriate pdf, across devices. I also need to still be able to search the pdf after the annotation.

The Entourage Edge is out because my understanding is that pdfs don't export well across devices, and because it doesn't have enough functionality to replace my laptop but is too heavy to carry with my laptop.

Also, price point should be under $500, or else I should probably look for a used tablet PC.

If I've missed a thread that answers this exact question, I apologize and ask to be directed there: I've been searching the forums for quite a while and haven't seen anything that fits.

Thanks a ton.
