Thank you for the detailed answers. I’m very interested in this device for reading PDFs and for annotating them. Can you tell me the following:

1) Is it easy to see the annotations (notes, highlights, underlines) on your Mac or PC afterwards? The device is useless to me if the annotations are only viewable on the Note itself. I have to be able to see them when exported.

2) The reports of the default reader app frequently crashing concern me. Does it save notes and annotations constantly so that a crash will not lose more than page’s worth of work? If that’s not the case, I think I’ll have to stay away.

3) I’ve read conflicting reports about how easy it is to get PDFs on and off the Note from a Mac. Do I need to install a special program to do this? Is it fairly user-friendly?

Thank you so much!
I haven't worked much with annotations, so someone else will have to help you with that. However, I have a Mac. You can download and install an app called Android File Transfer. It's free. Once installed, it will automatically start up when you connect the Note to your Mac, and show you the folders on the Note. You can then easily transfer files between the Mac and the Note.

I have not experienced the problems with NeoReader crashing that others report. Could the crashes be caused by frequent use of annotations? I can't say. We are told that another firmware update is in the works. That might fix some of these issues.
