Well, this all sounds good, but what am I to do if I want to mark up a pdf on the Scribe and then be able to see it on a computer/ipad/other ereader? I totally agree that pdf's are not entirely satisfactory, to put it mildly -- for example, one cannot search many languages (Tamil, Hindi, etc.) on a pdf. But still many people organize their work around collections of many many pdf's, which they would like to mark up. I did try sending a pdf to my Kindle account, and I could mark it up without problem on the Scribe and liked the way the stylus worked. But when I opened the Kindle app on my mac, the file was without any of my mark-ups. Like them or not, pdf's, like the QWERTY keyboard, have now become universally necessary.
