Is there a certain iPad Stylus you use/ recommend (please not expensive) for Highlights/ Annotates? Or just your fingers?

Just put all of your books in GoodReader into the iCloud folder, and I think you might be amazed by how fast and smooth the syncing (including syncing of annotations) will be.
Would that allow me to Sync with my Windows 7 laptop?

My SYNC and Information workflow has 2 main components -
- Laptop - Download, Organize Books, Write - Documents etc.
- iPad
- Read, Highlight, Annotate > Be able to copy/ move these annotations to the Laptop, somehow.
- Preferably they are visible AS IS from iPad to Windows / Desktop Program.

PDF Expert just looks better than GoodReader's cluttered interface -- but in terms of functionality, GoodReader is the clear winner.
Good point to know. Thanks.

I use the iPhone for reading minimally as well -- however, it's very nice to know that whatever annotation I make in GoodReader on the iPhone, will automatically (thanks to iCloud syncing) show up on both of my iPads, the next time I launch GoodReader on them.
Good to know that your part of Europe has Flawless Internet Access

There are several ways of exporting annotations from GoodReader, if you feel you need that additional backup (in addition to iCloud).
Please elaborate on that those ways/ means of exporting as I need to take them out of the "Good Reader" Sandbox.

The reason why I highlight and annotate is so that I can use parts on my laptop when I need/ want them. Especially to refer to them, when writing documents based on the book/ whitepaper.

Key question? - Does Good Reader..
- Store Annotations/ Highlights as an Independent Layer/ File or
- MERGES them into the Original File
(Or allows both).

Backing up (and restoring!) annotations from Marvin via email works like a charm -- it's one of Marvin's strongest features.
I will have to check this out.
