The best "single document" PDF experience on a mobile device is, I think, Goodreader on the iPad. It's a superb PDF reader which has outstanding annotation capabilities.
Good to know Harry. I never used the iRex 1000 but read few if any negative comments about it's PDF handling. In fact I think it's why I expected more out of readers today when i started shopping for a large reader again. A true shame they had problems with their business model and money. Have you read anything about other companies contracting for the iRex software? I believe that part of the company is still in business, right?

I understand about Goodreader and the iPad but for me it's a no-go due to the capacitive touch screen. I really need active or I'll end up using 3-5 reading devices all the time. Thinking about it that wouldn't be awful, ever notice in Star Trek those guys lug around an arm full or are sitting at a table full of PADDs. Man, does than mean we still won't have advanced tablets by the 24th century?
