and here it the problem- there is no real way to do this in Linux. everyone uses various workarounds because there is no way currently to annotate pdfs in Linux like you can with windows etc.
It's why Samsung and Plastic Logic actually used windows ce underneath.
The way they both implemented things to account for the decreased margin available was to make each annotation a sort of pop up post-it. wherever you want to leave a remark it opens a post-it like block , you enter your text and then save it. it leaves a carrot there that you can click on to re-open the remark later. all of these went with the document .
Samsung only produced the 6" version and it didnt do well in the market because of price.
