I want these tooooooo! I know I'm biased
but since Cybook and Kindle take away the entertainment market, I do see the Iliad as *the* tool for academic market. (1) An important feature would be "sticky notes" in PDFs, that is a small note area, when clicking it expands to a larger area you can scribble in.
I'd reduce the bounty to 50$ for *one* of these functions, all together is a bit much for 1 developer. As I find time, I am hacking with my iliad, maybe I get to do some things maybe I don't, but it sure will take time ...
(1) Maybe this new A4 device in development will be *the* academic tool in future... but who knows how open and useful it will be beside being A4.
