Thank you very much for both of your answers, Gimble and Synergi!

I have a canvas next to the book. If I find someone in book A that useful I drag the passage out of the book onto the unlimited canvas. Now let’s say I want to make notes, I can write on the pdf, and if I run out of room I can write on the canvas. If I have thousands of notes and snippets and I have no idea where in my notes the item pertains to or I don’t remember what reference book something came from, no problem. Click on the snippet and it takes you to the book and where you took it from. It forms a line back to the item sort of like a mindmap type linking system. I just can’t say enough good things about it. LOL.
True Apple is closed but Google was open and a fragmented mess and now they are abandoning tablets all together. They never did get the tablet support Apple has. It’s to bad because I love my Samsung tablets. They were just hampered by lack of true tablet software.
I can try to find out about the Onyx book as far as writing and file it saves in if you want. I’m like a pen and notaking addict but my husband hates he can’t just touch the screen. Loose the pen he can’t do anything with Onyx.

Okay, that liquidWriting application sounds very convenient.
Mostly I'm writing math formula, mixed with some text. I'm studying physics an look for a device I can use to get away from too much paper use. So a good note taking app is needed, as well as the ability to add notes to scripts and books.
The necessity of the pen for Onyx wouldn't bother me, if the rest works well, so to say if writing feels natural and the exporting of notes isn't a problem.
I believe Gimble answered the question of the exported file type, nevertheless thanks for the offering to look it up.

b) There are two kinds of notes actually.
1. For pdf documents, you can write with pen directly on the page, annotate with keyboard, or pull up a separate view that allows you to add any number additional pages of handwritten notes to each pdf page. When you are done with the document, the whole document can be exported along with all the scribbles, annotations, separate notes into a new pdf file - you can also specify in what color the notes should be exported as.
You can open different documents in separate tabs and switch between them easily - there is no split screen view to simultaneously look at two documents, however.
2. There is also a separate note taking app. In this app, notes are captured as png files. You will need to use a separate application to convert these into pdf. However, since this is android, if you are willing to explore and experiment, there are a number of convenient, free apps that can collate and convert png files into pdf.

to a) It was a comment to a review Video, unfortunately I'm unable to find it. Contentwise it said that the symbols used for note taking are stored in the RAM and therefore the device would crash if the text contains two many different symbols so that all RAM is used.
With none of you having any experiences of the Onyx crashing, it seems to be a good choice; but with all the praise for (Apple)Tablets, im seriously considering looking for "normal" tablets, even though I could probably go for something like a Lenovo Yoga if I'm not taking an eInk device. Still, not looking on a glaring screen is a huge plus of them. I'll have to sleep a nigth over this.
