(blink). Okay now, imagine a reader that could read those A4 letter-sized PDFs.
Imagine that, like the Kindle, it could search them all for any word or phrase you like and display a list of titles with # of hits, and for each title a list of hits imbedded in the surrounding 2 sentences.
Imagine that, like the Kindle, it would allow you to highlight text and annotate documents, and that, like the kindle, it includes a "My notes and marks" file for each document consisting only of these highlights and annotations.
Imagine that, like the Kindle, you could sort your pdfs by first author or by title from the home page.
Imagine that it can carry 1.4 GB of pdfs. Or more (hopefully more).
Seriously, you aren't interested in that? You'd rather work with thirty pounds of paper copies? Because if there's one thing I find *difficult* to carry around in a backpack or briefcase, it would be all those printed pdfs.
