Incidently, is the commenting function on the 700 limited to certain formats or is this possible with all the formats it's capable of reading?

alehel, as far as I've been able to tell, the commenting is limited to text pdf files. My grad program assigns a ton of readings in pdf format, but some of them are photo-copy scans. Since those files are images instead of text, all the fancy highlighting and bookmarking doesn't work.
If I really need to make notes on an image-based PDF file, I run it through a text recognition program like OmniPage. This is really time-consuming, though, so I generally only do it with files I know I'll be using a lot in the future. It does pay off, though, since being able to search through my notes on files has made finding the material I need to cite in papers go so much more quickly.
