Sorry to bump this old thread but I am quoting from it and it matches my questions.

YEAH. This is 99% of why i want an E-ink reader. Few of the books i read are on ebook. Most of what i read is professional journal articles, in PDF form, with many tables, graphs and equations. And my eyes can not stand laptops or tablets anymore.
I also need to be able to take notes on the PDF.
After playing with the kindle 3 or 4 with keypad, i fount that it lets you take notes with the keypad but I was unable to see these notes and highlights when i transferred the PDF back to my PC. Notes in my science reading are of no use if i can not retain them in a format that is tied to the comments in the article text. I am not going to keep all 5,000 PDF files on an ereader and i certainly will not be writing my next paper on a kindle so I need to get these notes and highlights to my PC.
IS THERE A WAY TO RETAIN (or reattach) NOTES IN THE PDF file when using...
...the kindle keypad?
...the kindle touch
...the sony?
scribble (hand written notes and markup) is a plus of the sony. does this work well? I am guessing i can not search for text from notes that i scribbled in windows explorer. But it is how i think. Is the scribble retained on the PDF file or is it somehow reattached to the PDF file when i remove it from the e-reader and view it on my PC in adobe pro?
does the kindle touch allow for scribble notes or is it just the Sony?
Does the sony also support text based notes in PDFs? is this retained in the document when deleted from the ereader and moved to my pc?
also

Did they, was this resolved?

Is it? so the claims that the Sony has more glare is bogus?
Thanks so much for the help.
