Has anyone used USB to look at what Amazon delivers to the device when you send a PDF to allow drawing on it? Also what format is used to store annotations and sticky notes on the device?

It might be possible to bypass Amazon’s servers if we figure out what they are doing to the formats.
I echo jhowell's request and to that end, I am attaching a simple PDF of O Henry's The Gift of the Magi.

It is 3 pages. I'm also attaching the .txt file and its conversion to postscript (by groff). The PDF was made by ps2pdf.

If a Scribe owner would send the pdf to amazon and attach what amazon send to the Scribe that should help find out what makes it possible to add notes.
