As for Linux: lots of devices use Linux (including 912/m92), Android is Linux as well. The question of how good the highlighting works has nothing to do with Linux/Windows/whatever - its a question of the reader software, not the operating system. I'd rather compare the actual software/devices themself.

From what I have seen so far with the 903 and m92: they both have pros and cons when it comes to highlighting/notes in pdfs:

- m92 highlights better (903 doesn't work well in my experience)
- both take scribbles (drawing) in the pdf
- the m92 merges the scribbles into a new pdf, but not the highlights
- the m92 has no list/table of scribbles (but has one for highlights)
- the 903 can take 'screenshots' of selectable areas of a pdf page
- the 903 has a complete list of all highlights, scribbles and screenshots (nice
when you later on want to see what your notes were in a book)

I probably will write down a better list of pro and cons. My feeling is that _taking_ notes is better on the m92, _reading_ them maybe as well, but _finding and working_ with the notes is better on the 903.
